About WSGAX
Macquarie Small Cap Growth Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on investing in small-capitalization companies with strong growth prospects. The fund primarily seeks to achieve capital appreciation by allocating at least 80% of its net assets to common stocks of small-cap firms, targeting businesses that demonstrate increasing revenues, improving margins, and growing free cash flows. Its investment strategy involves a fundamental research approach, narrowing down candidates from benchmarks like the Russell 2000 Growth Index and selecting companies positioned for above-average growth within their sector. The portfolio spans diverse industries, reflecting a broad view of opportunities across the small-cap growth segment. Managed by an experienced team at Macquarie Asset Management, the fund plays a significant role in providing investors with access to the dynamic U.S. small-cap equity market, which is often considered an engine for innovation and economic expansion. The fund is structured for investors seeking exposure to the potential of emerging businesses while accepting the higher risks typically associated with small-cap equities.
