PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
THE FUND | The Wells Fargo Advantage Common Stock Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by principally investing in equity securities of small- and medium-capitalization companies that management believes are underpriced yet have attractive growth prospects.
FUND STRATEGY
- Identifies growing companies with superior business models that are trading at what the team believes to be significant discounts to their actual values.
- Uses fundamental research to find sound companies with attractive, long-term growth prospects. Focuses on stocks that may be temporarily out of favor and trading at 50% to 65% of their true PMVs, according to the team's assessments.
- Conducts extensive financial analysis in order to apply industry-specific models and metrics to measure a firm's true PMV.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
- Private market valuation (PMV) approach: By constantly measuring a company's "private market value," the team is better able to assess a company's worth and act decisively when "market emotion" drives the price of a solid business down to discount levels. Additionally, the PMV investment process helps to discern differences between mispriced stocks and those with cheap valuations, improving the team's likelihood to generate alpha.
- Opportunistic core approach: The PMV investment approach is designed to be growth- and value-neutral, with the flexibility to opportunistically invest in the best ideas at either end of the growth and value spectrum.
RISKS |
Stock fund values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Smaller-company stocks tend to be more volatile and less liquid than those of larger companies. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). This fund is exposed to foreign investment risk. Consult the fund's prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.
