About NNLEX

Nicholas Limited Edition, Inc. Class N is an actively managed mutual fund with a focus on small-cap growth equities. Established in 1987, the fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in small-cap companies with market capitalizations generally between $500 million and $2 billion. These companies are selected for their sound business models, strong future earnings prospects, and the potential to be undervalued relative to their long-term growth capabilities. Nicholas Limited Edition emphasizes a disciplined investment approach, incorporating primary research to identify promising small-cap and mid-cap stocks with unique growth characteristics. The fund diversifies across a broad number of holdings, aiming to balance the inherently higher volatility of smaller companies with risk management. Its portfolio is concentrated in sectors such as technology, healthcare, consumer cyclicals, and financial services, reflecting the dynamic nature of the U.S. small-cap market. Managed by experienced professionals, the fund plays a significant role for investors seeking targeted exposure to the growth potential of emerging U.S. businesses while maintaining an emphasis on valuation and risk-adjusted performance over time.
