About VSCOX
The JPMorgan Small Cap Blend Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital growth by investing primarily in the equity securities of small-cap U.S. companies. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its assets to small-cap stocks, emphasizing a "blend" approach that includes both value and growth companies within the small-cap universe. Its portfolio is diversified across various industries, with notable concentrations in financials, industrial cyclicals, technology, and healthcare. Managed by a seasoned team at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, the fund seeks to identify opportunities among companies that are undervalued or possess the potential for above-average growth, balancing these exposures relative to peers. Since its inception in 1997, the fund has cultivated a reputation for robust long-term absolute and risk-adjusted returns, supported by rigorous research and disciplined process. Typically, the fund appeals to investors seeking access to the growth potential and diversification benefits offered by the U.S. small-cap sector, which can play a significant role in a broader equity allocation.
