About PARNX
The Parnassus Mid Cap Growth Fund Investor Shares is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in high-quality, fast-growing U.S. mid-cap companies. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its net assets to mid-sized growth firms, selecting companies that demonstrate strong balance sheets and robust growth potential. Employing a contrarian investment strategy, it seeks out stocks that are undervalued or out of favor within the financial community, aiming to capitalize on future growth opportunities. The fund may also allocate a portion of its assets to smaller or larger companies, and up to 15% in foreign securities. Additionally, it supports community development by investing up to 5% in loan funds targeting small businesses and affordable housing. With a concentrated portfolio usually comprising 35 to 45 holdings, the fund targets a high active share relative to its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index, striving for performance that exceeds passive strategies over the long term. This fund plays a significant role in providing investors access to the growth potential of mid-sized enterprises while incorporating thoughtful, active portfolio management and selective social impact elements.
