About MCSPX
BlackRock Advantage SMID Cap Fund, Inc. Investor C Shares is a diversified mutual fund focused on small- and mid-capitalization companies within the U.S. equity market. The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its assets in equity securities, mainly those comprising or resembling the Russell 2500 Index, an index representing the smallest 2,500 companies in the Russell 3000 universe. This approach allows the fund to capture opportunities across sectors such as industrials, technology, financials, energy, and consumer cyclicals, with a portfolio that typically holds over 500 securities at a time. The investment strategy combines growth and value styles, leveraging BlackRock’s data-driven, technology-enabled process to identify attractive stocks within its universe. The fund is managed by a team of experienced professionals and is characterized by relatively high portfolio turnover, reflecting an actively managed approach. Its expense ratio is notably higher than many peers in the mid-cap blend category. The fund’s role in the market is to provide investors with targeted exposure to the dynamic and potentially high-growth segment of U.S. small and mid-sized companies, offering broad diversification across industries and market themes.
