About NEAGX

The Needham Aggressive Growth Fund Retail Class is a U.S.-based mutual fund that targets long-term, tax-efficient capital appreciation. Its primary focus is on investing in small- and mid-cap domestic companies exhibiting strong growth potential, particularly those with high returns on capital that may be undervalued due to ongoing investments or transitional periods.

It emphasizes businesses helmed by founders or tenured managers with a clear, long-term vision. This fund is especially active in sectors such as technology, healthcare, industrials, specialty retail, media, energy, and both business and consumer services. By maintaining a disciplined approach to valuation, the fund aims to purchase high-growth companies at attractive prices. It may also engage in short sales and hold cash positions, and is known for investing in venture-backed, post-IPO enterprises. The Needham Aggressive Growth Fund Retail Class stands out for its high active share and conviction in portfolio construction, playing a notable role in the small-cap growth segment of the mutual fund market.
