Why invest?
  • Small-cap core fund that seeks to invest in "premier" small-cap companies, those Royce sees having discernible competitive advantages, high returns on capital, and a sustainable franchise. Small-cap stocks' market caps are less than the largest stock in the Russell 2000® Index.
  • Focuses on leading quality companies, those with low debt, the ability to generate excess cash flow, and attractive prospects that are selling at prices Royce believes do not fully reflect these attributes.
  • Average annual total return of 10.8% since inception (12/31/91) through 6/30/25.
  • Small/mid-cap growth fund (generally market caps up to $7.5 billion) that invests in companies with superior revenue and/or earnings growth selling at prices that Royce believes do not fully reflect their prospects.
  • Seeks companies that look poised for multi-year periods of robust growth driven by sustainable competitive advantages and/or benefiting from secular growth themes that create favorable conditions for the business.
  • Outperformed its benchmark for the 1-, 3-, 5-, 10-, 20-year, and since inception (6/14/01) periods ended 6/30/25.

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.
