Fund Description

In seeking long-term capital appreciation, the Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of small capitalization companies. Small capitalization companies generally are considered to be those whose market capitalization is, at the time the Fund makes an investment, within the range of the market capitalization of companies in the Russell 2000® Index. Companies whose capitalization no longer meets this definition after purchase may continue to be considered small capitalization companies.
Using a quantitative analysis to evaluate financial data, NTI buys securities of small capitalization companies that it believes have favorable characteristics such as earnings quality and returns on equity relative to their peers. The team may sell securities in order to maintain the desired portfolio characteristics of the Fund. In determining whether a company has favorable characteristics, NTI uses an evaluation process that includes, but is not limited to:
∎
Quantitative review of fundamental factors such as earnings metrics and capital deployment; and
∎
Systematic evaluations of new securities with attractive attributes and re-evaluations of portfolio holdings.
NTI also performs a risk management analysis in which NTI seeks to measure and manage risk exposures at the security, sector and portfolio levels through portfolio diversification. Final purchase decisions are made based on a quantitative
review of each company and on the desired level of diversification.
Many of the companies in which the Fund invests retain their earnings to finance current and future growth. These companies generally pay little or no dividends. The Fund may use derivatives such as stock index futures contracts to equitize cash and enhance portfolio liquidity.
From time to time the Fund may have a focused investment (i.e., investment exposure comprising more than 15% of its total assets) in one or more particular sectors. As of March 31, 2024, the Fund had focused investments in the financials and industrials sectors.
NTI may engage in active trading, and will not consider portfolio turnover a limiting factor in making decisions for the Fund.
Frank Russell Company does not endorse any of the securities in the Russell 2000 Index. It is not a sponsor of the Small Cap Core Fund and is not affiliated with the Fund in any way.
