Today’s pronounced valuation gap between value and growth, combined with supportive economic catalysts, creates a favorable backdrop for value investing. Meanwhile, investors find themselves confronted with a crowded field of managers offering “value” strategies. Yet simply carrying a value label says little about whether the portfolio can deliver what value investing is meant to provide: reliable participation in market gains and durability in down markets.
In recent years, performance dispersion among value managers has been striking. In 2022, higher interest rates pressured richly priced growth stocks, creating conditions that broadly favored value. Yet only about a third of managers outperformed the MSCI World Value Index. When markets anticipated lower rates in 2023, nearly 85% of value managers beat the index. In 2024, with market gains concentrated in a few mega-cap growth companies, fewer than 35% did so.1 These swings weren’t random, they were the result of managers pursuing value in very different ways. For investors, such dispersion means the same value label can conceal a wide range of risks.
Not all value approaches deliver the same investor experience (Exhibit 1). Some portfolios tilt toward cyclical sectors, gaining more in expansions while leaving investors exposed when conditions turn. Others emphasize defensive areas such as consumer staples and utilities, softening losses in downturns yet often giving up ground in recoveries. Relative value portfolios sit somewhere between the two, sometimes tracking the benchmark so closely that they add little, if any, genuine value exposure.
Barrow Hanley takes a different approach: seeking opportunities in both cyclical and defensive industries, but only where companies trade at meaningful discounts to their cash flows, assets, or earnings power. The result is portfolios that remain distinct from the benchmark and positioned to deliver authentic value exposure through changing market conditions.
A label alone doesn’t guarantee authentic value exposure. Many managers apply it to strategies that either shadow the index or drift toward undiversified, mega-cap growth. This can leave investors with portfolios that promise value but fail to deliver it.
Disciplined valuation and a focus on fundamentals are what allow value portfolios to defend in difficult markets and participate when opportunities arise. Over more than four decades of investing, Barrow Hanley has shown that authentic value is not inconsistent or situational, but durable across cycles.
