To find the best large-value funds, we looked at returns from the past one, three, and five years, using data available in Morningstar Direct. We screened for open-ended and exchange-traded funds in the top 25% of the category using their lowest-cost primary share classes for those periods. We also filtered for funds with a Morningstar Medalist Rating of Bronze, Silver, or Gold. We excluded funds with assets under $100 million and analyst coverage that was not 100%. This left seven funds.
