About SPSAX
The Sterling Capital Behavioral Small Cap Value Equity Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on achieving maximum long-term total return by primarily investing in the equity securities of small-capitalization companies. Managed using behavioral finance principles, the fund seeks to capitalize on market inefficiencies driven by investor psychology, such as overreactions or emotional decision-making, by systematically evaluating factors like valuation, price momentum, and earnings revisions when selecting portfolio holdings. The fund maintains a diversified portfolio, with investments spanning various sectors and including companies that may be undervalued or temporarily out of favor in the market. Its portfolio typically features a high degree of active management, as evidenced by a significant turnover rate and an active share reflecting a strategy distinct from its benchmark. The fund is designed for investors seeking exposure to the growth potential of small-cap value stocks, and it plays a role in diversifying equity allocations within a broader investment portfolio.
