About DADGX

Dunham Small Cap Growth Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund focused on maximizing capital appreciation by investing primarily in small-cap growth companies. The fund generally allocates at least 80% of its assets to equity securities of smaller U.S. companies, selecting stocks that demonstrate long-term sustainable business models and are considered undervalued relative to their growth prospects. Managed by Pier Capital, LLC, the fund employs a strategy that seeks companies with robust growth potential, often operating in dynamic and innovative sectors. This approach positions the fund to benefit from the agility and expansive potential commonly associated with small-cap enterprises, though it also entails higher volatility and risk compared to large-cap investments. Dunham Small Cap Growth Fund Class A plays a role in diversified portfolios as a vehicle for investors seeking exposure to the growth opportunities present in the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity market.
