About NBSMX

Neuberger Berman Small Cap Growth Fund Institutional Class is a mutual fund that targets long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in small-cap companies within the U.S. The fund focuses on businesses with innovative products or services that are gaining market share, aiming to capture the growth potential of emerging companies at the lower end of the market-capitalization spectrum. Managed by a team with decades of industry experience, the fund emphasizes identifying high-growth firms across dynamic and up-and-coming industries, often characterized by higher volatility and rich valuations due to their rapid expansion and lower dividend yields. The portfolio typically holds a diversified mix of small-cap growth stocks, with the top holdings representing a modest portion of total assets, contributing to risk management and diversification. The strategy is designed for institutional investors seeking to diversify their equity exposure and potentially benefit from the growth trajectory of smaller U.S. companies, making it a significant player in the small-cap growth segment of the mutual fund market.
