About BASV valuation
Adding up its 39 holdings with company data, BASV trades at 20.0 times trailing earnings and 14.1 times analysts' forward estimates, with a price-to-book ratio of 2.72 and a dividend yield of 1.53%. Its earnings yield of 5.01% is 0.32 percentage points below the 5.33% yield to maturity of the U.S. bond market (AGG).
The ten largest holdings are 35.5% of the fund and earn 40.4% of its combined profit. By sector, Real Estate is the most expensive at 30.5 times earnings and Financial Services the cheapest at 15.1. Companies that lost money over the past year are 1.6% of the covered weight.
How these figures are calculated. Each ratio treats the fund as one company: the earnings, sales and book value of every holding are added up in proportion to its weight and divided into the fund's price. In practice that is a weighted harmonic mean, so a single stock with a very high P/E cannot distort the result, and loss-making companies reduce the fund's earnings instead of being dropped. Covers 95.3% of the fund's weight (U.S.-listed stocks with company data); company figures as of October 26, 2026.
