About SASVX
Virtus Ceredex Small-Cap Value Equity Fund Class A is a mutual fund that primarily targets long-term total return by investing in stocks of U.S. small-cap companies. The fund emphasizes dividend-paying businesses that appear undervalued, focusing on those within the market capitalization range defined by the Russell 2000® Index. This strategy combines a disciplined investment process centered on dividend policy, attractive relative valuations, and improving company fundamentals. Extensive bottom-up fundamental research is conducted to identify potential catalysts for price appreciation, such as management changes or product innovations. The fund is managed by Ceredex Value Advisors, a team with a longstanding history of constructing value-oriented equity portfolios for a variety of institutional and individual clients. By concentrating on companies trading at the lower end of historical valuation ranges, the fund aims to provide an added source of total return and potentially reduce overall volatility in the small-cap segment of the equity market.
