Columbia Select Mid Cap Value Fund Celebrates 20-Year Milestone

Columbia Threadneedle Investments today announced that the Columbia Select Mid Cap Value Fund has reached its 20-year anniversary.

Additionally, the Columbia Select Mid Cap Value Fund received a Lipper Fund Award for its three-year performance, ending December 31, 2020. 1

The Columbia Select Mid Cap Value Fund aims to deliver long-term outperformance by investing in underappreciated companies that can show accelerating earnings growth. With three decades of investment management experience each, lead portfolio manager Kari Montanus and co-portfolio manager Jonas Patrikson use a high-conviction, bottom-up approach when selecting securities for the fund. They look for cheap, out-of-favor companies in which they can identify a catalyst for change. Montanus has been lead portfolio manager of the Columbia Select Mid Cap Value Fund since May 2018.

“We believe that mid cap value is the ‘sweet spot’ of the market currently. This overlooked asset class can be a source of diversification for investors, as it offers exposure to areas of the economy likely to benefit from more persistent inflation and the reopening of the economy. Currently, we are finding opportunities in energy, consumer discretionary, technology and real estate sectors which we feel will benefit from the current economic backdrop,” said Montanus.

Despite the strong historical outperformance of the asset class, mid cap value funds have a small market share according to Morningstar (less than 1.5 percent of U.S. mutual fund AUM), so many investors may be missing out on the return potential of the asset class.

The fund holds 40 to 50 stocks, the team’s best ideas, and is constructed with a balanced exposure to stocks at different stages in their investment lifecycles. “Fundamental research is at the heart of our process. Over the years, we’ve proven that we can identify companies early on that are poised for positive change. We are patient investors that are willing to give companies the time needed to turn things around and become better companies,” said lead manager Montanus.

To round out their approach, the portfolio management team leverages the comprehensive fundamental, quantitative, and responsible investing research capabilities of the firm, including 160 analysts and research associates with deep industry knowledge who provide comprehensive sector coverage.

Morningstar Percentile Rankings are based on the average annual total returns of the funds in the category for the periods stated. They do not include sales charges or redemption fees but do include operating expenses and the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Share class rankings vary due to different expenses. If sales charges or redemption fees were included, total returns would be lower.

For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ used to rank the fund against other funds in the same category. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly excess performance, without any adjustments for loads (front-end, deferred, or redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics.
