About OISVX

Optimum Small-Mid Cap Value Fund Institutional Class is a mutual fund designed to achieve long-term capital growth by investing primarily in small- and mid-capitalization companies within the United States. The fund employs a dual-manager approach, utilizing both quantitative models and fundamental analysis to uncover undervalued businesses with strong cash flows and attractive valuations. LSV Asset Management leverages quantitative techniques to rank stocks based on value metrics and near-term appreciation potential, while Wellington Management Company LLP applies bottom-up, fundamental analysis to find companies that are misunderstood or undervalued by the broader market, favoring those with solid free cash flows and shareholder-friendly management teams. The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in small- and mid-sized firms defined by market capitalization standards comparable to the Russell 2000 Value and Russell Midcap Value indices. The portfolio is broadly diversified across sectors, with notable allocations to communication services, industrials, energy, real estate, and consumer goods. Established in 2003, the fund plays a significant role in providing institutional investors with exposure to the U.S. small- and mid-cap value segment, seeking opportunities for growth in less-followed areas of the equity market.
