Should You Buy?

This fund was previously run with the ‘micro-cap’ moniker, but was repositioned as a small-cap offering a few years ago. It runs a heavier tilt towards small-caps than many of its peers. The preference is for quality, growth-oriented business with healthy cash flows, scalability and strong management. The portfolio is well diversified, running modest positions in its top bets. The fund has struggled to keep pace with the index and peers in the past two years, even as it boasts an impressive longer-term track record. The fund needs to get back on its feet quickly to avoid playing catch-up for longer time.
