- FMI Common Stock Fund Investor Class (FMIMX) is a no-load open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in small- to medium-capitalization value stocks of companies listed on national securities exchanges or associations; under normal market conditions, the fund allocates at least 80% of its net assets to common stocks, including American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and American Depositary Shares (ADSs) of foreign issuers. The fund targets companies with less than $7 billion in market capitalization at the time of initial purchase, emphasizing good businesses at value prices characterized by high recurring revenue, attractive returns on invested capital, above-average growth prospects, and low absolute and relative valuations; it typically holds 30-40 stocks across most major industry groups, with top holdings including Genpact Limited, Aramark, BJ's Wholesale Club Holdings, and Valvoline Inc. FMIMX operates within the mid-cap blend category, serving individual investors, institutions, and registered investment advisors primarily in the United States.
Fiduciary Management, Inc. (FMI), the fund's investment adviser, founded in 1980 and headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, manages FMIMX as part of a suite of equity mutual funds applying a value discipline rooted in fundamental research; FMI oversees approximately $12.5 billion in assets under management as of September 30, 2025, across separate accounts and funds including the Institutional Class (FMIUX), FMI Large Cap Fund (FMIHX/FMIQX), FMI International Fund (FMIJX/FMIYX), FMI International Fund II (FMIFX), and FMI Global Equity Fund (FMIGX). The Investor Class shares a minimum initial investment of $1,000 ($100,000 for Institutional Class), with subsequent investments at $100 (or $50 via automatic plans), and a net expense ratio of 0.98%; the fund traces its origins to the predecessor FMI Common Stock Fund, Inc., launched December 18, 1981, which reorganized into its current structure effective January 31, 2014.
Recent developments include updated annual operating expenses in the January 31, 2025 prospectus and quarterly performance reporting as of June 30, 2025, reflecting ongoing portfolio management amid market volatility; total net assets stood at approximately $2.13 billion, with the Investor Class at $668.13 million.
