About DMCRX

The Driehaus Micro Cap Growth Fund is a mutual fund focused on maximizing capital appreciation through investments in U.S. micro-capitalization companies. The fund employs a growth-oriented strategy by primarily selecting equity securities, including common stocks, of companies whose market capitalizations fall within the range defined by the Russell Microcap® Growth Index at the time of investment. Its approach emphasizes identifying fundamentally strong businesses with substantial growth potential, often targeting firms at early stages of their corporate lifecycle. The fund's portfolio is diversified across numerous sectors, with healthcare, industrials, technology, and consumer cyclical industries featuring prominently. It maintains an actively managed process, leveraging bottom-up research to discover opportunities created by market inefficiencies and corporate inflection points. The fund is designed for long-term investors seeking exposure to dynamic, albeit volatile, areas of the U.S. equity market. While offering the prospect of higher returns due to its exposure to micro-cap growth stocks, the fund is also subject to heightened risks, including market volatility, liquidity constraints, and greater sensitivity to company-specific events compared to larger-cap funds.
