The fund holds a diversified portfolio, typically consisting of about 80 small-cap stocks across sectors such as technology, industrials, healthcare, financial services, and consumer cyclicals. The management team, which has decades of investment experience, emphasizes in-depth research and disciplined portfolio construction.
