About JASCX

James Small Cap Fund Class A is an open-end mutual fund focused on delivering long-term capital appreciation through investments in small-capitalization companies. Managed by James Investment Research since its inception in 1998, the fund primarily invests in equity securities—including common stocks, preferred stocks, and exchange-traded funds—of both domestic and foreign firms that are considered undervalued based on proprietary research. By targeting companies with market capitalizations within the range of the VettaFi US Equity Small-Cap 2000 TR Index, the fund maintains at least 80% of its net assets in small-cap equities under normal conditions. The portfolio spans a diverse set of industries, with notable allocations to financials, health care, consumer discretionary, and industrial sectors. The fund employs a disciplined, value-tilted investment process, blending quantitative analysis with a focus on profitability and momentum. This approach aims to identify quality small-cap companies with strong fundamentals, positioning the fund as a distinct choice within the small-cap value segment of the market.
