About SOCL valuation
Adding up its 25 holdings with company data, SOCL trades at 38.1 times trailing earnings and 14.0 times analysts' forward estimates, with a price-to-book ratio of 3.34 and a dividend yield of 0.57%. Its earnings yield of 2.62% is 2.70 percentage points below the 5.33% yield to maturity of the U.S. bond market (AGG).
The ten largest holdings are 70.2% of the fund and earn 120.2% of its combined profit. Companies that lost money over the past year are 12.9% 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 61.4% of the fund's weight (U.S.-listed stocks with company data); company figures as of October 26, 2026.
