About DFSLX
The DF Dent Small Cap Growth Fund - Institutional Class is a mutual fund designed to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing predominantly in the equity securities of small-cap U.S. companies. Managed by D.F. Dent & Company, Inc., the fund primarily targets publicly traded small-cap firms with growth potential, selecting from common stocks, preferred stocks, and real estate investment trusts (REITs). Notably, it maintains at least 80% of its assets in small-cap companies under normal market conditions, providing focused exposure to the dynamic small-cap sector. The fund’s strategy emphasizes rigorous research and selective investment, resulting in a relatively concentrated portfolio compared to broadly diversified funds. This non-diversified approach can lead to greater market risk but allows for targeted capital growth opportunities. The DF Dent Small Cap Growth Fund - Institutional Class is typically offered to institutional investors and features a lower net expense ratio, reflecting cost efficiency for larger investments. Its role in the financial market is to provide institutional portfolios with access to the growth prospects of emerging and entrepreneurial U.S. businesses, enabling participation in economic trends often driven by smaller, innovative companies.
