About SSCCX
The Saratoga Small Capitalization Portfolio Fund Class C is a mutual fund designed to achieve maximum capital appreciation by investing primarily in small-cap U.S. companies. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its assets to common stocks, focusing on firms with total market capitalizations under $1 billion, and a significant portion in those below $550 million. This approach targets companies at the lower end of the market capitalization spectrum, which may offer distinct growth opportunities and sector representation compared to larger firms. Managed by Zacks Investment Management, the fund utilizes a disciplined, multi-factor investment strategy rooted in academic and proprietary research. Its methodology emphasizes systematic stock selection, with an emphasis on earnings estimate revisions as a predictive factor for future performance. The fund holds a diversified basket of over 100 securities, with the top ten positions accounting for about a fifth of its assets, helping to manage risk within the volatile small-cap segment. As a core equity holding within the small-blend category, the Saratoga Small Capitalization Portfolio Fund Class C plays a key role in providing exposure to the dynamic and entrepreneurial segment of U.S. equity markets, appealing to those seeking diversification and participation in the potential growth of emerging firms.
