To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of small-cap U.S. companies. The fund currently considers small-cap companies to be those companies with total market capitalizations that are equal to or less than the total market capitalization of the largest company included in the Russell 2000® Value Index (the Index), the fund's benchmark index. As of December 31, 2023, the market capitalization of the largest company in the Index was approximately $10 billion.
The fund's sub-adviser, Newton Investment Management North America, LLC, an affiliate of BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc., uses fundamental research and qualitative analysis to select stocks among the portfolio candidates. The sub-adviser looks for companies with strong competitive positions, high quality management, and financial strength.
The fund's sub-adviser uses a variety of screening methods to identify small-cap companies that might be attractive investments for the fund. Once attractive investments have been identified, the sub-adviser then uses a consistent three-step fundamental research process to evaluate the stocks, consisting of:
●Valuation: to identify small-cap companies that are considered to be attractively priced relative to their earnings potential;
●Fundamentals: to verify the strength of the underlying business position; and
●Catalyst: to identify a specific event that has the potential to cause the stocks to appreciate in value.
The fund's sub-adviser focuses primarily on individual stock selection instead of trying to predict which industries or sectors will perform best. The fund's stock selection process is designed to produce a diversified portfolio of companies that the sub-adviser determines are undervalued relative to expected business growth.
The fund typically sells a security when the sub-adviser determines that there has been a negative change in the company's fundamentals, the company has met its price objective or has become fully valued. The fund also generally will sell a security when the sub-adviser determines that the company has lost favor in the current market or economic environment or a more attractive opportunity has been identified.
