3 Small-Cap Value Mutual Funds for Excellent Returns
Read MoreHide Full Article
Small-cap value mutual funds provide excellent choices for investors looking for bargains, i.e, stocks at a discount with impressive growth potential. Value mutual funds comprise stocks trading at a discount to book value, and have low price-to-earnings ratios and high dividend yields.
Value investing is a very popular strategy, and for a good reason. After all, who doesn’t want to find stocks with low PEs, solid outlooks, and decent dividends? Meanwhile, small-cap funds are a good choice for investors with a high-risk appetite as companies with small market capitalizations are expected to have higher growth potential than large- and mid-cap companies. Small-cap funds generally invest in companies having a market cap lower than $2 billion. Also, small-cap funds are expected to provide diversification across different sectors and companies.
Bridgeway Omni Small-Cap Value Fund Class N seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing most of its net assets, along with borrowings, if any, in equity or equity-related securities of small-cap stocks that its advisors determine to be value stocks and are listed on New York Stock Exchange, NYSE American, and Nasdaq.
