Investment Objective

Fund Overview
We invest at the intersection of quality and value which we believe can generate a return premium resulting in lower absolute downside risk and greater risk-adjusted returns.

  • Focusing on high-quality businesses with strong balance sheets, strong free cash flow and the potential for attractive future returns.
  • Prioritizing the quantitative assessment of absolute downside risk to mitigate against loss of capital.
  • Pure small cap portfolio; the investment universe generally includes companies with market capitalizations between $500 million and $4 billion at purchase.
  • High-conviction, fundamental bottom-up security selection process investing in typically 50 to 70 holdings.

Data as of December 31, 2023. Holdings are subject to change. Information is for the institutional share class only; other classes may vary. There are specific risks inherent in small cap investing such as greater share price volatility as compared to other funds that invest in stocks of companies with larger and potentially more stable market capitalizations. Diversification does not protect against market loss. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its stated objective. The Westwood SmallCap Fund was formerly known as the Westwood SmallCap Value Fund. The summation of percentages reported may not equal 100% due to rounding discrepancies.
