- AMG Frontier Small Cap Growth Fund - Class N (MSSVX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of small-capitalization growth companies, defined as those with market capitalizations generally below $4 billion; the fund normally allocates at least 80% of its net assets to such U.S. small-cap growth stocks using a bottom-up fundamental process focused on companies exhibiting consistent earnings growth, improving profitability metrics, and attractive valuations relative to growth prospects. Core holdings span sectors including industrials (27.90%), technology (18.79%), consumer cyclical (17.74%), healthcare (14.54%), and basic materials (11.09%), with top positions in Eagle Materials Inc., Granite Construction Inc., Lithia Motors Inc., ATI Inc., and FTAI Aviation Ltd., representing 16.39% of the portfolio; the fund offers daily pricing, a net expense ratio of 1.31%, a minimum initial investment of $2,000, and is available exclusively to U.S. investors. Launched on December 31, 2009, and domiciled in the United States, the fund is part of AMG Funds I, managed by subadviser Frontier Capital Management Company, LLC—a Boston-based growth equity specialist founded in 1980 and majority-owned by Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (AMG) since 2000—with headquarters operations registered in Boston, Massachusetts. Portfolio management is led by James Colgan and G. Novak since September 14, 2009, with Nathan Hayman added as co-manager effective November 1, 2024, marking a recent key personnel change to bolster the team's small-cap expertise. In Q3 2025, the fund reported a 7.53% return, underperforming the Russell 2000 Growth Index's 12.19% amid sector rotations favoring AI-driven areas, prompting ongoing strategic reviews of allocations while maintaining its disciplined growth-at-reasonable-valuations approach; total net assets stand at $78.72 million, with the Class N share class at $3.54 million.
