- Royce Small-Cap Fund (RYPFX), formerly known as Royce Pennsylvania Mutual Fund, is a small-cap mutual fund that seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in equity securities of small-cap and micro-cap companies believed to be trading below their estimated intrinsic value; small-cap companies are defined as those with market capitalizations not exceeding that of the largest company in the Russell 2000 Index. The fund employs a multi-dimensional disciplined approach incorporating high-quality growth, traditional value, and special situations strategies, focusing on stocks with above-average profitability, below-average leverage, and attractive valuations; it maintains a diversified portfolio of approximately 267 holdings across sectors such as industrials, financial services, technology, consumer cyclical, and healthcare, with allocations of about 85% to U.S. investments and 15% to non-U.S. investments including Canada, the United Kingdom, and emerging markets. Managed by Royce Investment Partners, a pioneer in small-cap investing with over 45 years of experience, the fund targets individual investors, financial advisors, and institutions, benchmarked against the Russell 2000 Index, with total net assets of approximately $1.8 billion, a portfolio turnover of 37%, and a net expense ratio of 1.29% for the service class. Established in 1972 under Royce Investment Partners management and headquartered in New York, the fund operates primarily in the U.S. with international exposure through its equity holdings. The service class (RYPFX) was incepted on November 8, 2005, with a minimum initial investment of $2,000 and additional investments of $50. It is part of a family of share classes including investment (PENNX), institutional (RPMIX), consultant (RYPCX), and R (RPMRX), distributed by Royce Fund Services, LLC. In a significant recent development effective May 1, 2024, the fund underwent a name change from Royce Pennsylvania Mutual Fund to Royce Small-Cap Fund to better reflect its investment focus and strategy, accompanied by updates to its prospectus. Previously, in 2019, shareholders approved reorganizations merging Royce Small-Cap Leaders Fund and Royce Small/Mid-Cap Premier Fund into the fund, enhancing its scale and diversification. The fund continues to be led by a seasoned team including portfolio managers Jay Kaplan (since 2003), Lauren Romeo (since 2006), and others, with Royce Investment Partners—an affiliate of Franklin Templeton—providing sub-advisory services. No major funding rounds, new product launches, or strategic alliances have been reported in the last 1-2 years beyond these structural changes.
