About CAFG valuation
Adding up its 94 holdings with company data, CAFG trades at 25.9 times trailing earnings and 12.8 times analysts' forward estimates, with a price-to-book ratio of 3.15 and a dividend yield of 0.69%. Its earnings yield of 3.86% is 1.47 percentage points below the 5.33% yield to maturity of the U.S. bond market (AGG).
The ten largest holdings are 27.6% of the fund and earn 11.9% of its combined profit. By sector, Utilities is the most expensive at 38.9 times earnings and Energy the cheapest at 15.2. Companies that lost money over the past year are 7.9% 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 96.6% of the fund's weight (U.S.-listed stocks with company data); company figures as of October 26, 2026.
