About ACSCX
The American Century Small Cap Value Fund A Class is a mutual fund that focuses on long-term capital growth by investing primarily in small-capitalization U.S. companies that are considered undervalued relative to their fundamentals. Its strategy seeks to identify high-quality, financially strong businesses trading at discounts to fair market value, using fundamental, bottom-up research to evaluate each company’s risk and reward profile. Key sectors represented in the portfolio include financials, industrials, consumer discretionary, energy, and real estate, with notable holdings such as Axis Capital Holdings, Old National Bancorp, and Graphic Packaging Holding.
The fund aims to provide consistent exposure to the small-cap value segment, balancing participation in rising markets with the intent to limit losses during downturns. Its approach is designed to harvest opportunities in what is often considered a less efficient area of the equities market, where active management can add value. The fund is intended for investors seeking diversified access to underappreciated smaller firms and is managed by American Century Investments, a firm recognized for its disciplined investment processes.
