About GSMAX
The Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its net assets to a diversified portfolio of small and mid-sized U.S. and, to a lesser extent, foreign companies, including those in emerging markets. Its investment selection spans various sectors, with notable representation in consumer cyclical, technology, industrials, and basic materials. This fund is actively managed, typically holding around 90–100 stocks, and can invest up to 20% of its assets in fixed income securities such as government or corporate debt. The fund is designed for investors seeking exposure to the growth potential found in smaller, dynamic companies, which historically offer greater volatility and higher risk compared to large-cap peers. With a long-standing track record since its inception in 2005, the Goldman Sachs Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund Class A plays a specialized role in portfolios, targeting opportunities within the less mature areas of the equity market and aiming to benefit from innovation and expansion in the small- and mid-cap segments.
