About GSXAX

Its investment approach leans towards the small growth category, diversifying holdings across various sectors including consumer cyclical, technology, industrials, utilities, and financial services. As of mid-2025, the fund managed over $325 million in assets and featured a portfolio of around 50 holdings, with a notable concentration in its top 10 positions. The fund is actively managed, with a moderate turnover rate, and is designed for investors seeking exposure to dynamic and emerging U.S. businesses, playing an important role in providing diversification beyond large-cap equities in a broader investment portfolio.
