About WFICX
North Star Small Cap Value Fund Institutional Class is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation for its investors. Its core objective centers on investing primarily in common stocks of U.S. small capitalization companies, which are generally those with market capitalizations of $2 billion or less at the time of purchase. The fund’s strategy is rooted in value investing, targeting businesses that the advisor believes are trading below their intrinsic value but have strong potential for future growth. With a diversified portfolio averaging around 47 holdings and a median market cap of approximately $1.4 billion, the fund provides targeted exposure to the dynamic small-cap segment of the U.S. equity market. This focus allows investors to access the growth opportunities and market inefficiencies often found among smaller companies, which may not be as widely covered as their larger counterparts. The North Star Small Cap Value Fund Institutional Class is designed to play a complementary role in diversified investment portfolios, contributing to sector and market-cap diversification while aiming to capture the risk-adjusted returns associated with value-oriented small-cap stocks.
