Operating with a flexible investment mandate, the Leuthold Core Investment Fund strategically diversifies its capital across a broad spectrum of asset classes. These include common stocks and other equity-linked instruments, bonds and various debt obligations, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), commodities, and money market tools. The specific distribution percentages among these investments are established at the discretion of Leuthold Weeden Capital Management. Under normal circumstances, the fund typically commits between 30% and 70% of its net assets to equity holdings. A comparable portion, ranging from 30% to 70% of its net assets, is usually allocated to fixed-income securities; however, this allocation may be adjusted during extended periods of low interest rates. Additionally, the fund is permitted to invest up to 20% of its total assets in money market instruments. ### What is the expense ratio of LCORX?

Funds below ~$50M are at higher risk of liquidation. ### Is LCORX actively managed or an index fund? LCORX is actively managed: the manager selects holdings rather than tracking an index. Active funds typically charge higher expense ratios than index funds (LCORX's is 1.34%) in exchange for the discretion to over- or under-weight positions. ### When was LCORX launched?

On a $10,000 investment compounding at 7% gross return, a 1.34% expense ratio quietly compounds against your balance every year. The Fee Compounding Forecast card above projects the dollar drag for any holding period and assumption you pick. The typical result for a 1.0% expense ratio on a 30-year hold is roughly 25% of the final balance lost to fees. ### How does LCORX charge its expense ratio? The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from LCORX's net asset value (NAV). You never see a bill. The price quoted on every exchange is already net of fees. There's no "fee day" to avoid; the cost is continuous and built into the trading price. ### Why does LCORX cost more than a fund like VOO? LCORX is actively managed (current expense ratio 1.34%). Active funds charge more than passive index trackers in exchange for the manager's discretion to over- or under-weight positions. The Cost Verdict card above tells you whether LCORX's fee is competitive for the active-management cohort. ### Are there cheaper alternatives to LCORX? The Lower-Fee Alternatives card above lists mutual funds following the same investment strategy as LCORX (1.34%) but at a lower expense ratio. Each row shows the fee gap, the peer's AUM as a liquidity sanity-check, and a direct link to that fund's analysis page. Cheaper price doesn't automatically mean better.
