About RYMCX
The Royce Micro-Cap Fund Consultant Class is an open-end mutual fund focused on delivering long-term capital growth by investing in equity securities of micro-cap companies, typically those with market capitalizations less than $500 million. As one of the veteran funds dedicated to the micro-cap segment, the fund employs a core investment approach that uses a blend of strategies to diversify risk across a broad portfolio, often holding over a hundred different stocks. While its primary emphasis is on U.S.-based micro-cap firms, up to 25% of its assets may be allocated to companies headquartered internationally, offering additional diversification potential. The fund is actively managed and seeks to capitalize on the unique growth opportunities and inefficiencies often present in the micro-cap universe. It is recognized for its higher risk profile and volatility, which reflect the nature of investing in smaller, less liquid companies. The Royce Micro-Cap Fund Consultant Class plays a significant role for investors aiming to gain targeted exposure to the micro-cap segment, an area that can deliver differentiated performance compared to larger-cap stocks over time.
