About WSCGX

Allspring Small Company Growth Fund – Institutional Class is a U.S. equity mutual fund designed to provide long-term capital appreciation primarily through investments in small-capitalization growth companies. The fund targets businesses in their "discovery" and "rediscovery" phases—typically younger firms with rapid earnings growth potential, high profitability, and unique products or services, as well as companies undergoing major positive changes such as new management or restructuring. With a portfolio that typically holds over 120 stocks, it maintains a diversified exposure to sectors like technology, healthcare, industrials, and financial services, focusing on companies that are often overlooked or misunderstood by the broader market. Managed by Allspring Funds Management with experienced sub-advisors, the fund employs rigorous fundamental research to identify prospects poised for substantial price appreciation. Its institutional class shares are structured for large investors, providing a cost-efficient option within the small growth category and playing a significant role in diversifying institutional portfolios seeking to capture opportunities in the dynamic small-cap segment of the U.S. equity market.
