- Loomis Sayles Small Cap Value Fund (LSVAX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital growth through investments primarily in equity securities of small-cap companies, defined as those with market capitalizations generally within the range of the Russell 2000 Value Index; the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in such securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, warrants, convertible securities, and other equity-like interests. Employing a disciplined bottom-up value investing approach, the fund emphasizes rigorous fundamental research to identify higher-quality businesses trading at significant discounts to their intrinsic value, requiring a margin of safety and a catalyst to unlock value; it maintains a broadly diversified portfolio of approximately 102 holdings across sectors such as industrials (23.1%), financials (20.9%), and information technology (11.4%), with portfolio managers Joseph Gatz (since January 2000) and Jeffrey Schwartz (since March 2012). Share classes include Admin (LSVAX, inception January 2, 1998, net expense ratio 1.40%), Institutional (LSSCX, inception May 13, 1991, net expense ratio 0.90%), R (LSCRX, inception December 31, 1996, net expense ratio 1.15%), and N (LSCNX, inception February 1, 2013, net expense ratio 0.85%), with total net assets of approximately $325 million as of November 30, 2025. The fund, managed by Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P., a Boston-based investment manager founded in 1926 and headquartered at One Financial Center, targets U.S. small-cap value opportunities with some exposure to non-U.S. stocks (6.20% as of recent data), serving institutional, mutual fund, and individual investors primarily in the United States. Loomis Sayles, with over $359 billion in assets under management as of mid-2024, integrates proprietary research and risk analysis across equity strategies, including small-cap value, growth equity, and fixed-income products. In September 2024, Loomis Sayles expanded its longstanding relationship with iA Clarington Investments Inc., a Canadian firm, to sub-advise floating rate income funds leveraging the firm's expertise in floating rate loans and credit research, reflecting strategic growth in fixed-income alliances. In late 2025, FIM Partners agreed to acquire Loomis Sayles' Global Emerging Market Equities team, marking a transition of that strategy while the firm continues to focus on core U.S. equity capabilities like the Small Cap Value Fund; no major changes, such as portfolio manager shifts or new product launches specific to LSVAX, were reported in the last 1-2 years. The fund maintained stable management and strategy amid market volatility, with year-to-date returns of approximately 6.37% for the Admin class as of December 2025.
