Why invest?
  • Small/mid-cap value fund (generally market caps up to $15 billion) that invests primarily in dividend-paying companies with strong business fundamentals and attractive prospects.
  • Focuses on quality businesses, both U.S. and foreign, with below-average debt and above-average profitability selling at prices that Royce believes do not fully reflect underlying quality.
  • Average annual total return of 9.0% since inception (5/3/04) through 12/31/24.
  • Small-cap value fund that looks for conservatively managed companies with transparent accounting that have a viable niche or franchise whose stock can be bought below its economic value. Small-cap stocks' market caps are less than the largest stock in the Russell 2000® Index.
  • Seeks companies with superior balance sheets, sustainable returns on invested capital, and strong levels of free cash flow from operations, among other attributes.
  • Average annual total return of 8.4% since inception (5/1/98) through 12/31/24.

Morningstar Style Map

The Morningstar Style Map is the Morningstar Style Box™ with the center 75% of fund holdings plotted as the Morningstar Ownership Zone™. The Morningstar Style Box is designed to reveal a fund's investment strategy. The Morningstar Ownership Zone provides detail about a portfolio's investment style by showing the range of stock sizes and styles. The Ownership Zone is derived by plotting each stock in the portfolio within the proprietary Morningstar Style Box. The shaded area represents the center 75% of the Fund's assets while the plot point in the middle represents the weighted average of its holdings. Over time, the shape and location of a fund's ownership zone may vary.
