About SFMIX
The American Beacon Stephens Mid-Cap Growth Fund R5 is an actively managed mutual fund focused on delivering long-term capital appreciation. Designed for institutional and retirement-focused investors, the fund primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in equities of U.S. companies classified as mid-cap—generally those with market capitalizations between $2.5 billion and $10 billion at the time of purchase. The strategy is sub-advised by Stephens Investment Management Group, which applies a growth-oriented investment process, emphasizing companies with strong earnings growth potential. The fund's portfolio is diversified across sectors, with significant allocations to industries such as industrials, technology, financial services, and communication services. Notable holdings include companies like Axon Enterprise, Guidewire Software, Spotify Technology, and Take-Two Interactive. With approximately 90 holdings and a moderate turnover rate, the fund seeks to harness the growth characteristics of mid-cap equities, which are often perceived as offering a balance between the stability of large-cap stocks and the higher growth potential of small-cap stocks. The fund plays a significant role for investors seeking exposure to the dynamic mid-cap segment of the U.S. equity market, aiming to capitalize on market inefficiencies and emerging growth opportunities.
