About PBSRX
The Polen U.S. Small Company Growth Fund Investor Class is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in the common stocks of small U.S. companies. Defined as firms with market capitalizations under $5 billion, these small-cap businesses are selected for their potential for significant growth. The fund maintains a concentrated portfolio, with its largest holdings in sectors such as technology, financial services, healthcare, and industrials. This concentrated approach means that a substantial portion of assets is often allocated to its top holdings, allowing the fund to capitalize on high-conviction investment ideas. Managed by Polen Capital, the fund requires a minimum initial investment and features a relatively high expense ratio compared to peers. Although it does not regularly pay dividends, it is designed for investors seeking exposure to innovative, emerging small-cap companies within the U.S. equity market. The fund serves as a growth-oriented option within a diversified portfolio, targeting investors interested in the dynamic potential of small company stocks.
