About LGASX
ClearBridge Small Cap Fund Class FI is an actively managed mutual fund focused on seeking capital appreciation by investing primarily in small-capitalization companies. The fund’s portfolio consists largely of equity securities from U.S.-based firms, with an emphasis on businesses that fall within the market capitalization range of the Russell 2000 Index. Leveraging proprietary fundamental and quantitative research, the fund aims to identify value opportunities across diversified sectors, often including companies considered to be in “special situations,” such as those undergoing significant changes or transitions. Managed by a team under the umbrella of Legg Mason Global Asset Management Trust and ClearBridge Investments, the fund utilizes a blend investment style, targeting both growth and value characteristics. It may also place a focus on firms that exhibit strong environmental responsibility and socially conscious business practices. With a semi-annual dividend payout and a substantial roster of holdings, the fund plays a significant role for investors seeking exposure to the dynamic and often higher-growth segment of small-cap U.S. equities, benchmarking its performance against the Russell 2000 Index.
