About WHGCX
Westwood Quality SmallCap Fund Class C is an open-end mutual fund designed to deliver long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of small-capitalization companies. Its investment approach emphasizes a blend of quality and value, targeting firms with strong balance sheets, robust free cash flow, and compelling prospects for future growth. The portfolio managers conduct a high-conviction, bottom-up selection process, typically holding 50–70 stocks, and generally focus on companies with market capitalizations between $500 million and $4 billion at the time of purchase. The fund seeks to mitigate downside risk through rigorous quantitative assessments while pursuing a return premium relative to the broader small-cap market. It tracks benchmarks such as the Russell 2000 Value Index and the Russell 3000 Index, and is evaluated within the U.S. Small Blend fund category. The fund also aims to maintain an efficient risk profile with an average number of holdings and performance metrics aligned to its investment philosophy. Its role in the financial market is to provide investors with targeted exposure to the small-cap equity segment, offering diversification and potential risk-adjusted returns within a broader portfolio context.
