About RYOTX
Royce Micro-Cap Fund Investment Class is an actively managed mutual fund focused on long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of micro-cap companies. Micro-cap companies are typically defined as those with market capitalizations up to $500 million, offering exposure to a segment of the market often characterized by higher growth potential but also increased volatility compared to larger firms. The fund maintains a diversified portfolio across various sectors, with notable allocations in industries such as industrials, healthcare, energy, and consumer cyclical goods. At least 80% of the fund’s assets are typically invested in micro-cap equities, with up to 25% permitted in foreign companies, broadening the scope of opportunity and risk. Managed by Royce Investment Partners, the fund applies a disciplined approach to identify companies with strong fundamentals, attractive growth prospects, or the potential for operational improvement. Its strategy is designed for investors seeking targeted access to the micro-cap segment, which may complement broader equity holdings or sector-specific investments.
