About AGSCX

Alger Small Cap Growth Fund Class C is a mutual fund designed to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in the equity securities of U.S. small-cap companies. The fund targets firms with market capitalizations typically below $1 billion, identified through rigorous fundamental research for their potential to deliver above-average growth. Its portfolio is diversified across various sectors, with notable weights in technology, industrials, consumer cyclical, healthcare, and communication services companies. The fund holds over 100 individual securities, and its top holdings often account for a significant portion of assets, reflecting a focused yet diversified approach. Managed actively since its inception in 1997, the fund employs a strategy that emphasizes growth characteristics rather than income generation. With a minimum initial investment requirement and a higher-than-average expense ratio, the fund is positioned for investors seeking exposure to the dynamic and often volatile small-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity market, where innovation and expansion prospects drive investment decisions.
