About FTHFX
The FullerThaler Behavioral Small-Cap Equity Fund R6 is a U.S. mutual fund that focuses on small-cap equities through an actively managed, small blend investment style. Its primary objective is long-term capital appreciation, achieved by investing at least 80% of assets in common stocks of small-cap companies, typically those included in the Russell 2000 Index. This fund is distinguished by its unique behavioral finance-inspired strategy, which seeks to capitalize on market inefficiencies created by investor psychological biases such as overreaction or underreaction to news and events. Through a disciplined, research-driven process, the management team identifies opportunities where these behavioral missteps may have mispriced securities, thus providing potential for reward. The portfolio is diversified across U.S. industries, with notable positions in sectors like industrials, basic materials, consumer cyclical, technology, and healthcare. The fund also maintains a modest allocation to cash and cash equivalents for liquidity. Designed primarily for institutional investors, it is part of the R6 share class, offering a competitive expense ratio and low distribution fees. The fund plays a key role for investors seeking exposure to the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity market using sophisticated behavioral insights to guide its investment decisions.
