About PRVIX
T. Rowe Price Small-Cap Value Fund I Class is an open-end mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital growth by investing primarily in small-cap U.S. companies considered undervalued relative to their intrinsic worth. The fund employs a value-oriented strategy, seeking stocks trading at low price-to-earnings, price-to-book, or price-to-cash flow ratios, and prioritizing solid financial characteristics and business fundamentals.
While the majority of assets are allocated to U.S. common stocks, the fund may also invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs), select foreign stocks, newly public companies, and on occasion, privately held firms. It is benchmarked against the Russell 2000 Value Index, targeting companies generally within or below the index’s market capitalization range. The portfolio tends to be well-diversified across sectors, with particular weightings varying over time, sometimes resulting in significant exposure to sectors like financials. The fund is supported by intensive in-house research and aims for disciplined management of risks typically associated with small-cap and value investing, such as higher volatility and lower liquidity compared to large-cap stocks.
