About ASQCX
The American Century Small Company Fund C Class is an actively managed mutual fund primarily focused on achieving long-term capital growth by investing in the common stocks of small U.S. companies. Utilizing both fundamental and quantitative analysis, the fund constructs a portfolio of businesses typically characterized by smaller market capitalizations, often benchmarked against indices like the Russell 2000®, which tracks the performance of the 2,000 smallest publicly traded U.S. companies. This fund targets a segment of the market known for higher growth potential but also greater volatility and company-specific risks, including limited resources and narrower product or market exposure. The C Class shares are distinguished by a structure that includes higher fees, which are reflected in the fund's expense ratios and can be a hurdle for long-term performance compared to similar offerings. The strategy is suited for investors seeking diversified exposure to the small-cap sector, which plays a critical role in supporting innovation and growth within the broader equity market.
