- Jacob Small Cap Growth Fund Investor Class Shares (JSCGX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term growth of capital by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of small capitalization companies, defined as those with market capitalizations typically within the range of the Russell 2000 Growth Index; the fund employs an aggressive growth style, targeting early-stage companies with sustainable competitive advantages, strong management teams, large addressable markets, barriers to entry, and attractive valuations based on projected cash flows, sales, and profits. Investor Class Shares (JSCGX) feature an expense ratio of 1.97%, while Institutional Class Shares (JSIGX) offer a lower ratio of 1.84%; the fund imposes a 2.00% redemption fee on shares held less than 30 days and supports automatic investment plans with a $1,000 minimum for retirement accounts or such plans versus $2,500 for standard accounts. The fund's portfolio undergoes rigorous qualitative and quantitative analysis, followed by ongoing monitoring and rebalancing; as of April 30, 2025, top holdings included OptimizeRx Corp (OPRX, 7.73%), Alphatec Holdings Inc (ATEC, 5.95%), and Heron Therapeutics Inc (HRTX, 5.94%), with additional positions in technology, healthcare, and internet-related small caps such as Braze Inc (BRZE), Doximity Inc (DOCS), and Confluent Inc (CFLT). Managed by Ryan Jacob as lead portfolio manager and co-managed by Darren Chervitz for certain aspects, the fund operates within the small growth segment of the U.S. equity market, with limited exposure to foreign securities not exceeding 25% of net assets; it carries risks associated with smaller companies, including limited liquidity, greater volatility, and potential foreign investment hazards. Jacob Asset Management, the fund's adviser founded by Ryan Jacob and headquartered in Rye, New York, oversees the strategy as a boutique firm established in 1999 that also manages related offerings such as the Jacob Internet Fund (JAMFX) and Jacob Discovery Fund (JMCGX/JMIGX). In recent developments, the fund added Powerfleet Inc (AIOT) as a new position during the quarter ended September 2024, reflecting ongoing portfolio adjustments amid market conditions; performance as of March 31, 2025, showed a quarterly return of -5.76% for Investor Class shares, with since-inception annualized returns of 6.45% through that date, trailing the Russell 2000 Growth Index in the short term but focusing on long-term outperformance via concentrated holdings. The broader Jacob Funds lineup, including this fund, continues active management without major structural changes such as acquisitions, funding rounds, or reorganizations reported in 2024-2025.
