- Loomis Sayles Small Cap Value Fund (LSSCX) is an institutional class mutual fund managed by Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P., that seeks long-term capital growth through a disciplined bottom-up value investing approach focused on equity securities of small-cap companies. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in such securities, including preferred stocks, warrants, securities convertible into common or preferred stocks, and other equity-like interests; it emphasizes rigorous fundamental research to identify higher-quality businesses trading at significant discounts to intrinsic value, requiring a margin of safety and a catalyst to unlock value; the broadly diversified portfolio adheres to sector and security guidelines with approximately 106 holdings, overweight in industrials (23%), financials (22%), and information technology (13%) as of September 30, 2025. Available share classes include Institutional (LSSCX, inception May 13, 1991, net expense ratio 0.90%), N (LSCNX, inception February 1, 2013, net expense ratio 0.85%), R (LSCRX, inception December 31, 1996, net expense ratio 1.15%), and Admin (LSVAX, inception January 2, 1998, net expense ratio 1.40%), with total fund assets of $324.5 million as of October 31, 2025. The fund benchmarks against the Russell 2000 Value Index and ranks competitively in the Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds category and Morningstar Small Blend category. Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P., founded in 1926 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, serves as the investment adviser, providing a range of equity and fixed income strategies to institutional and mutual fund clients worldwide with approximately $359 billion in assets under management as of June 30, 2024; the firm distributes the fund through Natixis Investment Managers and operates globally with offices in London, Singapore, and Orinda, California. Recent developments include the release of the fund's annual shareholder report for the period October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025, highlighting portfolio characteristics and performance amid small-cap market dynamics where high-quality holdings faced temporary underperformance relative to lower-quality peers; Loomis Sayles expanded fixed-income sub-advisory partnerships, such as with iA Clarington Investments Inc. in September 2024 for floating rate income funds leveraging its credit research expertise; additionally, the firm reopened its Small Cap Growth strategy across institutional channels in May 2025 following a 2019 soft close, reflecting strategic capacity management in small-cap equity offerings; the investment adviser maintains a contractual expense limitation agreement through January 31, 2026.
