"Aristotle Small Cap Equity Fund targets undervalued, high-quality small-cap companies through fundamental research. The fund seeks businesses with strong fundamentals, experienced management, and long-term value creation potential."
The Aristotle Small Cap Equity Fund employs a fundamental, bottom-up research approach to identify undervalued small-capitalization companies with high-quality business characteristics. The fund invests at least 80% of assets in equity securities of companies with market capitalizations equal to or less than the largest company in the Russell 2000 Index, which was approximately $16.7 billion as of December 2022. The sub-adviser focuses on companies with disciplined business plans, attractive fundamentals, sound balance sheets, financial strength, experienced management, reasonable competition, and records of long-term value creation. The fund is benchmarked to the Russell 2000 Index but is not constrained by its composition. Key risks include small-cap volatility, liquidity constraints, and active management risk. The fund has delivered a since-inception annualized return of 7.58% through September 2023, though it experienced a -4.10% year-to-date return through the third quarter. Portfolio turnover remains low at 19%, reflecting the fund's long-term investment approach.
