Portfolio Characteristics

Investment Style

A growth and income portfolio investing in high potential stocks from among the largest companies in the United States.

Blue Chip Value Fund, Inc., during normal market conditions, invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of large companies with headquarters in the United States, such as those included in or similar in size to those included in Standard & Poor's 500 Composite stock price index.

The Fund uses an active, bottom-up stock selection process combined with proprietary quantitative techniques focusing on large companies with above-average return potential that are undervalued or out of favor but have solid or improving businesses.

Blue Chip Value Fund takes advantage of Wall Street's "herd mentality" that can produce mispricing of heavily researched large company stocks.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Average annual total returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends, capital gains distributions, all fee waivers and expense reimbursements, if any. Please note that the total return does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a stockholder would pay on Fund distributions or the sale of Fund shares. Without the absorption of fee waivers and expense reimbursements, if any, total return figures would have been lower. Total return represents past performance. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Blue Chip Value Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other agency and are subject to investment risk.
