About SHEAX
The American Beacon Shapiro SMID Cap Equity Fund A Class is a mutual fund designed to deliver long-term capital appreciation alongside current income. Managed by Shapiro Capital Management, the fund specializes in value-oriented investments, focusing primarily on small- and mid-cap U.S. companies that often present lower valuations and more modest growth prospects compared to larger peers. Employing deep fundamental research and a concentrated portfolio strategy, the fund seeks to identify undervalued businesses with solid financials and attractive dividend yields, aiming to limit downside risk over time. The fund’s holdings span sectors such as technology, healthcare, industrials, consumer cyclical, and financial services, with a notable concentration in select positions, which may introduce higher volatility and liquidity risks compared to more diversified portfolios. Its distinct approach targets a segment of the market associated with higher potential volatility but seeks to balance this with disciplined value investing. The fund plays a significant role for investors seeking exposure to U.S. small- and mid-cap equities through an actively managed, value-driven lens, and it is positioned within the small-value category as defined by major industry benchmarks.
