About LCGRX

Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Fund Retail Class is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of small-cap U.S. companies. The fund employs a distinct investment approach that combines a proprietary growth screening process, bottom-up fundamental research, and discounted cash flow valuation to identify "winners" poised for secular growth. Portfolio construction is risk-aware, integrating diversified holdings—typically between 90 and 110 stocks—with position sizes ranging from 0.5% to 2% and sector weights managed relative to the benchmark. The fund limits exposure to recent IPOs and unprofitable early-stage firms, aiming for a lower-volatility profile within the small growth category. It maintains an annual turnover around 30-80%, reflecting active management. With assets diversified across sectors such as technology, healthcare, industrials, and energy, the fund seeks to harness the potential of innovative and fast-growing small-cap companies, playing a strategic role for investors seeking growth opportunities within the dynamic segment of the U.S. equity market.
