About RSQCX

The Royce Small-Cap Special Equity Fund Consultant Class is a mutual fund specializing in small-cap value investing. Its primary objective is long-term capital growth, achieved by investing predominantly in equity securities of small and micro-cap companies, typically those with a market capitalization under $500 million. The fund is managed with a focus on conservatively operated businesses that demonstrate transparent accounting practices and occupy a unique market niche or franchise. While the majority of investments target U.S. companies, the fund may allocate up to 10% of its assets to foreign issuers. With a concentrated portfolio—holding around 34 positions—the fund seeks to capture growth opportunities in the underrepresented small-cap segment. It plays a distinct role in the financial market by offering investors exposure to companies often overlooked by larger funds, thereby aiming to benefit from inefficiencies in the small-cap value space. The fund’s annual payout frequency and its focus on companies with strong fundamentals further emphasize its disciplined investment approach.
