- T. Rowe Price Small-Cap Stock Fund I Class (OTIIX) is an open-end mutual fund managed by T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. that seeks long-term capital growth by investing at least 80% of its net assets in common stocks of small-cap companies, defined as those with market capitalizations within or below the current range of the Russell 2000 Index or S&P SmallCap 600 Index, or below the three-year average maximum market capitalization of either index; the fund emphasizes growth-oriented small companies across sectors including industrials (19.01%), financial services (17.84%), healthcare (17.13%), technology (13.69%), and consumer cyclical (8.35%), with top holdings such as Aggregate Miscellaneous Equity (2.71%), Liberty Live Group (2.47%), Mirion Technologies (1.81%), VSE Corp (1.73%), and OR Royalties (1.71%). The fund, launched on August 28, 2015 as the I Class share with a minimum initial investment of $500,000 and a net expense ratio of 0.77%, maintains a diversified portfolio of approximately 239 holdings, with 87.58% in U.S. stocks, 8.97% in non-U.S. stocks, and primary exposure to the United States followed by Canada (5.64%). It is available for sale in the United States and managed by Alex Roik since July 1, 2023.
T. Rowe Price Group, Inc., the fund's investment manager, was founded in 1937 and is headquartered at 100 East Pratt Street in Baltimore, Maryland, operating globally with offices in 17 countries serving clients in 55 nations through a broad range of equity, fixed income, and multi-asset mutual funds, sub-advisory services, and separate account management.
In a significant recent development, effective September 30, 2025, the T. Rowe Price Small-Cap Stock Fund reopened to new investors after being closed to most new accounts since 2013 due to capacity concerns from rapid asset growth; this decision followed net outflows of over $3.1 billion from the mutual fund over the three years through July 2025, despite the strategy maintaining roughly $17.9 billion in assets under management across vehicles as of June 2025, as market conditions and a review of capacity relative to the investible small-cap universe supported controlled future inflows. The fund's total net assets stood at approximately $8.22 billion, with the I Class share class at $3.39 billion as of recent data. No major acquisitions, partnerships, or product launches beyond this reopening were reported in the past 1-2 years.
