About ABSAX

The American Beacon Small Cap Value Fund Class A is an open-end mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation and current income. The fund primarily invests in equity securities of small-capitalization U.S. companies, typically those with market values similar to those in the Russell 2000 Index. Employing a multi-manager approach, it leverages the expertise of several subadvisors to identify undervalued small-cap stocks with strong potential for growth and income. The fund’s portfolio is highly diversified, commonly holding between 400 and 500 stocks across various sectors such as technology, financial services, energy, and industrials. It also includes allocations to real estate investment trusts (REITs) and maintains a portion of assets in cash and equivalents. The American Beacon Small Cap Value Fund Class A stands out for its deep reach into the small-cap segment and sector-specific positioning, providing investors with exposure to a dynamic area of the U.S. equity market that may be underrepresented in broader portfolios. Regular income distributions and a commitment to value investing principles further define its role in the financial market.
