"The Invesco Small Cap Value Fund outperformed its benchmark in Q2 2025, capitalizing on market volatility to purchase undervalued small-caps with robust long-term upside to intrinsic value."
Executive Summary
During the second quarter of 2025, the Invesco Small Cap Value Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index, driven by strong stock selection within the utilities and industrials sectors, as well as a beneficial lack of exposure to the real estate sector. Managed by Jonathan Edwards and Jonathan Mueller, the fund employs a disciplined bottom-up, intrinsic-value-driven investment approach focused on long-term capital growth rather than short-term macroeconomic forecasting. The managers capitalized on heightened market volatility during the quarter, initiating several new positions across various sectors—such as LivaNova and The Timken Company—while exiting holdings like Cheesecake Factory and Beacon Roofing Supply where they believed upside was more limited relative to intrinsic value. At quarter-end, the fund maintained an overweight position in economically sensitive stocks compared to its peers and benchmark. The managers noted that small-cap value stocks continue to look highly attractive relative to large-cap S&P 500 Index stocks, as evidenced by historical valuation discounts. Despite elevated investor fears, the portfolio team views the gap between market prices and estimated intrinsic values as a compelling long-term wealth creation opportunity.
