About WGROX

The Wasatch Core Growth Fund is an actively managed mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital growth through investments primarily in smaller, high-potential U.S. companies. The fund typically targets firms with market capitalizations under $5 billion at the time of purchase, making it a small-cap growth strategy. Its approach emphasizes identifying businesses with strong financials, defensible business models, and industry-leading management teams—seeking those that can maintain earnings growth even in challenging economic environments. The portfolio typically holds about 40 to 60 positions, offering broad exposure across sectors such as healthcare, technology, industrials, and consumer goods. The fund may also allocate up to 20% of assets to foreign companies, though its core remains U.S.-centric. Launched in 1986, it is benchmarked against the Russell 2000 Growth Index and is known for its active, research-driven bottom-up selection process. This fund plays a significant role in the market by providing investors with access to dynamic and innovative small-cap companies that can act as potential engines of growth within diversified portfolios.
