A value weighted portfolio weights stocks within the relevant based universe on a calculation of each stock's absolute and relative value as compared to the other stocks within this same universe. The portfolio is continually rebalanced to weight most heavily those stocks that are priced at the largest discount to various measures of value. The portfolio adjusts as prices and company fundamentals change.
