About STSCX
Sterling Capital Small Cap Value Fund Institutional Shares is an actively managed mutual fund that invests primarily in common stocks of small capitalization U.S. companies. The fund focuses on companies that fall below the market capitalization of the largest constituents of the Russell 2000 Index, targeting businesses considered undervalued compared to their peers. Using a value investment approach, the fund's management seeks equities with attractive fundamental valuations and strong future earnings prospects, often identifying potential business catalysts that could drive growth or expand valuation multiples. The portfolio is diversified across various sectors and typically features a concentrated allocation, with the top 10 holdings accounting for a significant portion of total assets. With a long-standing history since its inception in 1993 and a minimum investment requirement designed for institutions or large investors, the fund aims to leverage the perceived inefficiencies and growth potential inherent in the small-cap segment. It maintains a relatively low annual turnover, reflecting a long-term perspective on stock selection and portfolio management, and is benchmarked against the broader small-cap market for performance evaluation.
Performance
STSCX had a total return of 25.09% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 19.99%.
