About RYPRX
Royce Premier Fund Investment Class is an actively managed mutual fund focused on delivering long-term capital growth by investing predominantly in a select group of high-quality small-cap companies. The fund typically holds fewer than 100 positions and targets businesses that management believes exhibit premier characteristics—such as strong balance sheets, durable franchises, and solid prospects for growth and cash flow improvement. At least 80% of the fund’s assets are allocated to equity securities of these companies, with a minimum of 65% concentrated in small-cap stocks at the time of investment. The fund spans a diverse array of industries, including financial services, industrials, technology, healthcare, and basic materials, though it may also invest a portion of assets in companies headquartered outside the United States. Royce Premier Fund Investment Class plays a notable role in the market for investors seeking exposure to the small-cap segment, emphasizing quality and selectivity over broad market representation, and is benchmarked primarily against small-cap indices such as the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000 indices.
