About RPFFX

Royce Premier Fund Service Class is a mutual fund designed to provide long-term capital growth by investing predominantly in the equity securities of small-cap companies. The fund emphasizes what it classifies as “premier” companies—those recognized for their strong balance sheets, low debt levels, robust cash flow generation, and attractive growth prospects. Typically, it maintains a focused portfolio with fewer than 100 holdings, a strategy intended to concentrate on high-conviction investments. At least 80% of the fund's assets are allocated to equity securities, with a minimum of 65% invested in small-cap firms at the time of purchase, generally within the $1 billion to $3 billion market capitalization range. Its investment style follows a “small blend” approach, targeting a mix of value and growth opportunities within the small-cap segment of the U.S. market. Known for its disciplined research process and experienced management, Royce Premier Fund Service Class offers investors a specialized avenue for potential growth within the dynamic small-cap space, impacting sectors and industries that are often underrepresented in broader market indices.
