About STSRX
The American Beacon Stephens Small Cap Growth Fund R6 is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital growth by investing primarily in small-capitalization U.S. companies. Managed by Stephens Investment Management Group, the fund targets firms that are believed to have strong growth prospects, typically operating in sectors such as technology, healthcare, consumer defensive, and industrials. By concentrating on the small-cap segment, the fund aims to capitalize on perceived market inefficiencies and the potential for rapid business expansion within this space. The portfolio is diversified, with individual positions in a range of dynamic companies and a relatively modest concentration in its top holdings, helping to manage sector and stock-specific risks. The R6 share class is structured for institutional investors, offering a competitive expense ratio relative to its peer group. The fund’s investment style aligns with the small-growth category, employing fundamental analysis in its security selection process and benchmarking its performance against the Russell 2000 Growth Index. Its disciplined approach makes it a notable participant in the small-cap growth mutual fund market, providing access to companies positioned at the forefront of innovation and market trends.
