Carillon Eagle Small Cap Growth Fund Class I is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing predominantly in small-capitalization companies. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its net assets to equities of companies with market capitalizations at or below those found in the Russell 2000 Growth Index at the time of purchase. Its investment process emphasizes selecting companies with accelerating earnings growth, strong management teams, insider ownership, manageable debt levels, and attractive valuations relative to growth potential. Sector exposure spans industries such as basic materials, energy, industrials, technology, financial services, and real estate, with a notable concentration in dynamic, high-growth segments of the economy. Managed by a seasoned team at Eagle Asset Management under the Carillon Family of Funds, the fund aims to identify and capitalize on compelling growth opportunities within the small-cap universe. It is designed for institutional investors, offering an expense ratio below 1% and maintaining a moderate portfolio turnover, reflecting a disciplined approach to active management within the small growth category.
