About ARSTX

Nuveen Small Cap Select Fund Class I is a diversified mutual fund focused on U.S. small-cap equities. Its primary objective is capital appreciation, investing predominantly in stocks of smaller companies trading at a discount to their intrinsic value, but only when a clear catalyst for value realization is identified. This disciplined, research-driven approach emphasizes stock selection and seeks to uncover quality businesses across sectors, including financial services, energy, healthcare, technology, industrials, and consumer goods. The fund has a minimum investment threshold suited to institutional investors and maintains a portfolio diversified across approximately 80–84 holdings, with a relatively modest percentage concentrated in its top ten positions. Managed by an experienced team, the fund applies rigorous risk management and fundamental analysis, and can allocate up to 15% of assets to emerging market equities. Nuveen Small Cap Select Fund Class I plays a notable role in offering investors exposure to the growth and innovation potential of smaller U.S. companies, contributing to asset allocation strategies seeking diversification beyond large-cap stocks.
