About FRSLX

The Nuveen Small/Mid Cap Growth Opportunities Fund is a diversified mutual fund focused on identifying and investing in U.S. small- and mid-cap companies with strong growth potential. The fund implements a traditional growth investment strategy, aiming to select quality companies that demonstrate sustainable earnings growth over the long term. With a primary goal of capital appreciation, the fund typically allocates at least 80% of its assets to equity securities of small- and mid-cap growth firms, using the Russell 2500 Growth Index as its benchmark. This approach enables investors to gain targeted exposure to dynamic sectors and industries that drive innovation and expansion within the U.S. economy. Managed by a team with experience in small- and mid-cap equity markets, the fund seeks to achieve a balance between diversification and the pursuit of above-average returns relative to its peers. The fund plays a significant role for investors seeking growth opportunities beyond large-cap stocks, providing access to companies that may be underrepresented in broader market indexes yet hold substantial potential for long-term market impact.
