- American Beacon Small Cap Value Fund Investor Class (AVPAX) is an open-end mutual fund managed by American Beacon Advisors, Inc., that seeks long-term capital appreciation and current income primarily through investments in equity securities of small-capitalization value companies domiciled or conducting a majority of their business in the United States; the Fund employs a multi-manager sub-advisory approach, allocating assets among Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC; Hotchkis and Wiley Capital Management, LLC; Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC; DePrince, Race & Zollo, Inc.; and Westwood Management Corp., with each sub-advisor employing complementary value-oriented strategies focused on undervalued small-cap stocks exhibiting attractive valuations, earnings growth potential, and dividend yields relative to peers. The Investor Class shares, identified by ticker AVPAX and CUSIP 02368A620, feature a net expense ratio of 1.15%, a minimum initial investment of $2,500, and daily pricing in U.S. dollars, with total fund assets of approximately $3.81 billion and Investor Class assets of $211 million as of September 30, 2025; portfolio characteristics as of the same date include a weighted average market capitalization of $4.18 billion, price-to-earnings ratio of 14.3, price-to-book ratio of 1.5, top sectors such as financials (23.2%), industrials (21.6%), and consumer discretionary (13.5%), and leading holdings including F5, Inc. (1.6%), EnerSys (1.1%), and Avnet, Inc. (1.1%). American Beacon Funds, founded in 1987 as part of the American Beacon Advisors platform that traces its origins to 1986, is headquartered in Irving, Texas, and operates exclusively within the United States, targeting institutional and retail investors seeking exposure to the small value segment benchmarked against the Russell 2000 Value Index. In March 2025, the Fund underwent a significant sub-advisor transition, with the termination of Newton Investment Management North America, LLC effective March 7, 2025, and the appointment of Westwood Management Corp. as a new sub-advisor commencing on or about March 28, 2025, enhancing the Fund's multi-manager diversification with Westwood's small-cap value expertise led by portfolio managers William E. Costello, CFA, Frederic G. Rowsey, CFA, Matthew R. Lockridge, and Jordan Latimer, CFA; this change reflects ongoing strategic portfolio manager optimizations within the past year to align with evolving market dynamics and maintain complementary investment styles across sub-advisors.
