About LMNSX
ClearBridge Small Cap Fund Class I is a mutual fund focused primarily on small-capitalization companies, aiming for long-term capital appreciation through investments in equity securities. Its strategy revolves around identifying growth opportunities within the small-cap segment, while also allocating up to 20% of assets to larger companies or special situations—businesses undergoing significant change or restructuring. The fund takes a diversified approach, typically holding around 96 different stocks with notable allocations across sectors such as consumer cyclical, financial services, energy, technology, healthcare, and industrials. ClearBridge Small Cap Fund Class I is designed for institutional investors, with a high minimum initial investment and a relatively low expense ratio when compared to peers. It benchmarks its performance against the Russell 2000 Index and employs proprietary research for portfolio construction. Semi-annual dividend payouts and an open status further highlight its role as a core holding for those seeking diversified exposure to U.S. small-cap equities. Since its inception in 1994, it has maintained a consistent focus on small-cap growth potential within the broader equity market.
