About IYSAX

Macquarie Smid Cap Core Fund Class A is a mutual fund specializing in U.S. equity investments with a focus on small- and mid-capitalization companies. Its primary objective is to achieve capital appreciation and preservation by investing across a broad spectrum of industries represented by smaller public companies, which are often under-researched and less followed by analysts. The fund employs an actively managed strategy, guided by a seasoned investment team averaging over 25 years of experience, that integrates fundamental research with proprietary quantitative modeling to identify potential opportunities in the market. The portfolio is constructed to be style-neutral, encompassing both growth and value stocks, and is continually monitored to manage risk exposures and ensure performance is the result of stock selection. By targeting this segment of the market, the fund seeks to capture inefficiencies and mispricings that can arise from lower analyst coverage and heightened volatility in small- and mid-cap equities. This fund plays a significant role in diversifying investor portfolios and providing exposure to dynamic, high-growth potential segments of the U.S. equity market.
