About WEGRX

The Allspring Emerging Growth Fund Class R6 is a U.S. equity mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in small-capitalization companies. The fund targets businesses with robust, sustainable growth that is not yet fully recognized by the broader market, employing rigorous, fundamental research to identify such opportunities. It emphasizes companies with strong revenue and earnings growth prospects and dynamically manages risk by continually assessing each holding's growth sustainability relative to market expectations. The fund is managed by a seasoned team and offers diversified exposure across various sectors, generally holding between 78 and 87 companies at a time. With its roots in seeking "emerging growth," it plays a significant role for investors aiming for higher growth potential through smaller, innovative U.S. companies, often positioning itself as part of a broader growth-oriented investment strategy. The fund’s R6 share class is typically available to institutional investors, such as retirement plans, and is structured to offer lower expenses, enhancing its efficiency in cost-sensitive portfolios.
