About DHSCX

Diamond Hill Small Cap Fund Investor Share is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S. equity securities with small market capitalizations. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its assets to small-cap companies—defined as those with market capitalizations generally below $3 billion or within the range of the Russell 2000 Index at the time of investment. Its portfolio management approach emphasizes value investing, focusing on companies deemed undervalued based on fundamental analysis and intrinsic value assessment. The fund maintains a diversified portfolio across multiple sectors, with a preference for firms that exhibit resilience and potential for durable, long-term growth. Management applies a bottom-up stock selection process, treating each investment as a partial ownership stake and targeting securities trading below their estimated intrinsic value. Positioned within the small-value category, the fund plays a significant role for investors seeking exposure to smaller U.S. companies with perceived upside potential relative to their current market prices. Its disciplined investment philosophy aims to exploit market inefficiencies in the small-cap segment, offering a blend of growth prospects and value orientation in the equity market.
