About GMAWX

The GMO Small Cap Quality Fund Class I is a mutual fund focused on generating total return by investing primarily in equities of U.S. small-cap companies deemed to be of high quality. Managed by GMO’s Focused Equity team, the fund targets businesses with robust profitability, strong fundamentals, and established operating track records. By combining quantitative analysis—such as measures of profitability and financial stability—with fundamental research on capital allocation, growth prospects, and resilience, the fund seeks to identify companies that can sustainably outperform their peers over time. It employs a disciplined investment approach that weighs both relative quality and valuation, aiming to capitalize on a long-term horizon while managing the typical volatility associated with small-cap stocks. The fund's portfolio spans a diverse set of sectors, including financial services, industrials, technology, healthcare, and consumer-related industries. With an emphasis on high-quality companies, the fund plays a significant role for investors seeking exposure to the growth potential and innovation often found in the U.S. small-cap segment, while seeking to mitigate some of the inherent risks of smaller-company investing through its quality-oriented approach.
