About ADVGX
The North Square Select Small Cap Fund Class I is an actively managed mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in the equity securities of small-capitalization companies. By mandate, the fund allocates at least 80% of its net assets to small-cap stocks, defining small-capitalization using the parameters of the Russell 2000 Index. The portfolio mainly comprises common stocks, but may also include preferred and convertible securities from companies across diverse sectors such as industrials, finance, technology, consumer cyclicals, and retail trade. This sectoral diversity is reflected in its holdings, with notable allocations to industrial cyclical, finance, and technology industries, supporting exposure to dynamic segments of the U.S. economy.
As an institutional share class, it features a competitive expense structure and is targeted toward larger-scale investors. The fund’s risk profile and turnover align with traditional small-cap blend strategies, seeking to balance growth opportunities with prudent management. Recently, the fund received recognition for its risk-adjusted performance, earning a five-star overall rating from Morningstar within the Small Blend category, underscoring its market competitiveness and the strength of its investment process.
