- American Century Small Cap Value Fund Investor Class (ASVIX) is an open-end mutual fund managed by American Century Investments that seeks long-term capital growth, with income as a secondary objective, by investing primarily in equity securities of small-cap value companies. The fund allocates at least 80% of its net assets to small-cap companies—defined as those with market capitalizations generally no larger than the largest company in the Russell 2000 Index or S&P SmallCap 600 Index—that are undervalued relative to their fundamentals, focusing on high-quality firms exhibiting stable returns on capital, strong free cash flow generation, low leverage, and sustainable franchises; it may also employ ESG factors in security selection. Investor Class shares feature a net expense ratio of 1.08%, quarterly dividend distributions, daily pricing, and minimum initial investments of $2,500 for non-retirement accounts or $1,000 for IRAs (waivable with systematic plans), with total net assets of approximately $541 million and a share class NAV of $10.28 as of December 12, 2025. The fund's top holdings include AXIS Capital Holdings Ltd., Old National Bancorp, Graphic Packaging Holding Co., Timken Co., and Evertec Inc., representing about 14.49% of the portfolio. American Century Investments, the fund's manager, operates as a privately controlled independent investment management firm founded in 1958 by James E. Stowers Jr. (originally as Twentieth Century Mutual Funds, renamed in 1997) and headquartered at 4500 Main Street in Kansas City, Missouri, with additional offices in New York, London, Hong Kong, and Sydney; it manages over $7.1 billion in small-cap value strategy assets as of August 31, 2025, serving primarily individual and institutional investors in the U.S. and select international markets. The firm maintains subsidiaries including American Century Investment Management, Inc., and international units in Asia Pacific and the UK. In recent developments, ASVIX—which had been generally closed to new accounts—reopened to all investors effective December 9, 2025, as announced on the American Century website, broadening access amid a year-to-date total return of -0.69% as of December 12, 2025; portfolio managers Jeff John (since 2012) and Ryan Cope (since 2020) continue to guide the strategy. No major acquisitions, funding rounds, or product launches specific to ASVIX occurred in 2024-2025, though the parent firm reported a corporate minority investment in its latest funding activity and issued its Q3 2025 commentary highlighting sector positioning in a volatile small-cap environment.
