About SHXCX
The American Beacon Shapiro Equity Opportunities Fund - Class C is a value-oriented mutual fund designed for long-term capital appreciation. Managed by Shapiro Capital Management, an investment advisory firm established in 1990, the fund employs deep fundamental research and a team-based investment process to construct concentrated portfolios. Its strategy emphasizes investing in undervalued U.S. equities, often focusing on small- and mid-cap companies, which can offer potential for growth but also present higher volatility and lower liquidity than large-cap stocks. Notably, the fund typically holds a smaller number of positions compared to more diversified funds, making it more sensitive to the performance of individual holdings. The fund’s approach is intended to limit downside risk relative to more aggressive stock strategies, offering a balance between risk mitigation and capital growth. It also participates in securities lending to enhance returns. The fund’s role in the market is to provide investors institutional-quality exposure to value stocks, leveraging the expertise of a veteran management team while accepting the inherent risks of concentration and smaller-cap equity investments.
