About EMCAX

Empiric Core Equity Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation. Managed by Enterprise Capital Management Inc. since its inception in 1995, the fund primarily invests in the equity securities of domestic small- and mid-capitalization growth companies. Its investment approach relies on a proprietary, multi-variant stock ranking system that evaluates factors such as valuation, historical growth, analyst expectations, financial quality, and price movements to identify stocks with the potential for excess returns. The fund further refines portfolio construction through risk optimization and a qualitative review by experienced management. Empiric Core Equity Fund Class A is diversified across multiple sectors, including financials, communication services, energy, and materials, and aims to deliver returns that outperform the broader small-cap benchmark. It is well-regarded for its disciplined process and its emphasis on high-quality active management within the small- and mid-cap equity segment of the U.S. market.
