About DASCX

The fund targets businesses with market capitalizations generally less than $4 billion, in alignment with the Russell 2000 Value Index, which serves as its benchmark.

Its portfolio typically holds 60 to 80 stocks, maintaining sector and individual security diversification guidelines to manage risk. Notably, the fund employs a value-oriented strategy, seeking businesses out of favor in the market and holding these investments until their prices more accurately reflect intrinsic value.
