Its sector exposure is broad, with allocations across areas such as industrials, energy, information technology, and materials, reflecting the diversity of the small-cap value segment. Established in 1997, this fund is designed for institutional investors and plays a key role in portfolios seeking diversification and exposure to the growth potential of undervalued U.S. small-cap stocks.
