About STSNX
Sterling Capital Small Cap Value Fund A Shares is an actively managed mutual fund focused on investing in small capitalization U.S. companies with value-oriented characteristics. The fund’s primary objective is to achieve capital preservation and appreciation, seeking out small-cap businesses that are undervalued relative to their peers yet demonstrate strong earnings prospects and favorable long-term growth catalysts. Using a disciplined investment process, the fund combines quantitative analysis—evaluating fundamental valuations such as price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios—with qualitative assessments of business catalysts that may drive future performance. This fund typically holds a concentrated portfolio, with the top ten holdings representing a significant portion of assets, and invests across diverse sectors including consumer cyclicals, financial services, industrials, and technology. Sterling Capital emphasizes the opportunities present in the small-cap segment, which is often less efficiently researched and therefore offers potential for skilled active management to add value. The fund has a minimum initial investment requirement and applies a front-end sales charge, with ongoing management fees considered above average for its category. Since its inception in 2015, the fund has aimed to outperform the broader small-cap value benchmark over the long term.
