About AVPAX
The American Beacon Small Cap Value Fund Investor Class is an open-end mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation and current income. It primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of small-cap U.S. companies that exhibit value characteristics—typically organizations whose market capitalizations fall within the range of the Russell 2000® Index at the time of investment. The fund employs a multi-manager approach, leveraging the expertise of different investment managers to diversify strategies and risk within its extensive portfolio, which regularly holds 400 to 500 individual securities. Key holdings span common stocks, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and occasionally U.S.-traded foreign equities. The portfolio is known for sector diversification and a tendency to favor deeper small-cap exposures than many comparable funds. The American Beacon Small Cap Value Fund plays a significant role in providing investors with access to the growth potential and diversification benefits of the U.S. small-cap value segment—an area often associated with higher volatility but also the potential for strong long-term returns. The fund’s multi-manager model and disciplined value orientation make it a notable option in the small-cap value mutual fund space.
