About STSOX
Sterling Capital Small Cap Value Fund Class C is a mutual fund that primarily focuses on investing in the common stock of small capitalization U.S. companies exhibiting value characteristics. The fund employs a value-driven investment approach, targeting businesses with market capitalizations below that of the largest members in the Russell 2000 Index. Its strategy combines quantitative analysis—evaluating fundamental valuation metrics relative to industry peers—and qualitative research, seeking company-specific catalysts expected to propel future earnings growth and enhance investor interest. This fund is designed to capitalize on opportunities in the less efficiently priced segment of the U.S. equity market, where small-cap stocks often experience less analyst coverage and greater growth potential. Its diversified portfolio spans a range of sectors, with significant holdings in companies like BJ's Wholesale Club Holdings, Casey's General Stores, and Hanover Insurance Group. By maintaining an active management style, Sterling Capital Small Cap Value Fund Class C aims to deliver superior long-term performance and manage risk within the small-cap space, making it a notable choice for exposure to undervalued smaller U.S. companies.
