About ALCFX
Alger Focus Equity Fund Class C is an actively managed mutual fund designed to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a concentrated portfolio of approximately 50 publicly traded companies. The fund emphasizes large-cap growth stocks, favoring businesses with robust earnings growth potential and operating in rapidly expanding sectors such as technology, consumer services, and industrials. Its investment strategy relies on rigorous fundamental research to identify high-conviction companies across various market capitalizations, though it maintains a focus on larger firms that are leaders in their respective industries. Notably, the fund’s portfolio is highly concentrated, with the top ten holdings accounting for over half of its total assets, including prominent technology and consumer companies. This focused approach distinguishes it from more diversified large-cap funds and can result in higher volatility, as reflected in its risk and performance metrics. Managed by seasoned investment professionals, Alger Focus Equity Fund Class C serves investors seeking a bold, growth-oriented strategy within the U.S. equity market, tracking benchmarks such as the Russell 1000 Growth Index and the S&P 500 Index.
