About AOFAX

The fund typically holds a focused portfolio of approximately 50 holdings, selected through rigorous fundamental research to identify small businesses with strong growth potential and innovative products, services, or technologies. By concentrating assets in a limited number of companies, the fund aims to capitalize on high-conviction ideas and opportunities within the small-cap segment. Notable features of this fund include a minimum initial investment requirement and a management approach that targets small growth companies across sectors such as technology, healthcare, and consumer cyclical industries. The fund’s investment approach is aligned with investors seeking exposure to smaller, dynamic U.S. businesses that may be underrepresented in broader market indexes. As part of the small growth category, Alger Small Cap Focus Fund Class A plays a significant role in providing access to the potential upside of emerging enterprises, while also involving a higher level of volatility typical of focused, small-cap portfolios.
