- Loomis Sayles Small Capital Value Fund Retail Class (LSCRX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital growth through investments primarily in equity securities of small-cap companies. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in common stocks, preferred stocks, warrants, convertible securities, and other equity-like interests of small-cap issuers, defined by market capitalizations aligning with the Russell 2000 Value Index; it employs a disciplined bottom-up value investing approach emphasizing fundamental research to identify undervalued stocks with a margin of safety and catalysts for value realization, resulting in a broadly diversified portfolio of approximately 100-106 holdings across sectors such as industrials (around 23%), financials (around 21%), and information technology (around 11-12%). Share classes include Retail (LSCRX, inception December 31, 1996, minimum initial investment $2,500, net expense ratio 1.15%), Institutional (LSSCX, inception May 13, 1991, minimum $100,000, net expense ratio 0.90%), Class N (LSCNX, net expense ratio 0.85%), and Admin (LSVAX, net expense ratio 1.40%), with total net assets of approximately $325-340 million as of late 2025; the fund benchmarks against the Russell 2000 Value Index and maintains low turnover around 25%. Managed by Joseph Gatz (since January 2000) and Jeffrey Schwartz (since March 2012), it targets U.S. small-cap blend style investors, with primary exposure to U.S. stocks (91%), minor non-U.S. allocations (7%), and cash (2%), available for sale in the United States. The fund operates under Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P., a Boston, Massachusetts-based investment manager founded in 1926 and headquartered at One Financial Center, with global offices in London, Paris, Singapore, Utrecht, Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis, San Francisco, and others; Loomis Sayles manages $425 billion in assets across equity, fixed income, and alternative strategies for institutional and mutual fund clients worldwide. In recent developments, Loomis Sayles announced in November 2025 an agreement to transition its Global Emerging Market Equities team to FIM Partners, including transfer of client accounts and a Luxembourg-domiciled UCITS fund, marking a strategic shift to focus resources on core capabilities while ensuring continuity through Natixis Investment Managers distribution. The firm also welcomed back Dilawer Farazi in November 2025 as Co-Head and Portfolio Manager for Emerging Markets Debt strategies effective December 10, 2025, enhancing its EMD offerings alongside Elisabeth Colleran, and continues to maintain stable management for the Small Cap Value team amid ongoing portfolio adjustments reflected in its Q2 2025 investor letter. These changes align with Loomis Sayles' emphasis on research-driven active management and risk-adjusted returns in a dynamic small-cap environment.
