About SMFAX
The American Beacon Stephens Mid-Cap Growth Fund A is an actively managed mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in the growth equities of mid-sized U.S. companies. Managed by Stephens Investment Management Group, the fund targets firms with a market capitalization generally between $1 billion and that of the largest companies in the Russell Midcap Index, concentrating on sectors such as technology, healthcare, and industrials. The strategy emphasizes identifying companies with strong earnings growth potential, aiming to capitalize on the perceived inefficiencies in the mid-cap space, which can present opportunities for outperformance relative to larger, more widely analyzed companies. The fund typically holds a diversified portfolio, with its top ten holdings representing a significant, yet measured, portion of the total assets. It has a history of consistent management since its inception, and its investment approach is characterized by disciplined research and a relatively moderate portfolio turnover, reflecting a long-term perspective. The American Beacon Stephens Mid-Cap Growth Fund A serves investors seeking exposure to dynamic and innovative U.S. mid-cap growth stocks within a professionally managed fund structure.
