About STCAX
The Virtus Silvant Large-Cap Growth Stock Fund Class I is a mutual fund focused on achieving capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S. large-cap companies. The fund emphasizes businesses that demonstrate strong fundamentals and above-average growth potential, utilizing a disciplined investment process to identify positive trends in earnings, revenue growth, cash flows, and return on invested capital. Notably, it seeks growth as a core condition rather than a strict category, exploring opportunities across various market segments, including those less recognized by traditional growth managers.

Extensive bottom-up fundamental research supports its security selection, placing emphasis on companies poised to lead or disrupt within their industries. The fund underscores a commitment to investing in "true game changers"—businesses with secular growth trends and innovative products or services with the potential to reshape the market landscape. As a large-cap growth offering, this fund serves as a key tool for investors seeking access to the innovative and dynamic segment of the U.S. equity market, focusing on sustained growth characteristics among established market leaders.
