About SSCPX
The Saratoga Small Capitalization Portfolio Fund Institutional Class is a core equity mutual fund designed to achieve maximum capital appreciation by focusing primarily on U.S. small-cap companies. At least 80% of its assets are typically invested in common stocks of firms whose market capitalizations align with those found in the Russell 2000 Index, placing the fund at the heart of the small-cap segment of the equity market. Managed by Zacks Investment Management, the fund leverages a disciplined, multi-factor approach that incorporates both proprietary and academic research to identify statistical anomalies and market inefficiencies within the small-cap universe. This strategy emphasizes the importance of earnings estimate revisions as a predictor of future stock performance, which is particularly relevant to smaller companies that tend to respond more strongly to such changes. The fund plays a significant role for institutional investors seeking targeted exposure to smaller U.S. companies, offering diversification benefits and potential for growth relative to larger-cap counterparts.
