- Royce Small-Cap Special Equity Fund (RYSEX) is a small-cap value mutual fund that seeks long-term capital growth by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of small-cap companies with market capitalizations less than the largest stock in the Russell 2000 Index; it targets conservatively managed firms exhibiting transparent accounting, viable niches or franchises, superior balance sheets, sustainable returns on invested capital, and strong free cash flow from operations, among other attributes. The fund maintains a concentrated portfolio of approximately 32 holdings with low turnover of 5%, weighted average market cap of $1.47 billion, and sector allocations emphasizing consumer discretionary (20.18%), industrials (19.92%), and consumer staples (9.03%) as of September 30, 2025. Managed by Royce Investment Partners, a pioneer in small-cap investing since 1972 with headquarters in New York, NY, the fund operates primarily in U.S. markets for individual investors, financial advisors, and institutions. Royce Investment Partners, now affiliated with Franklin Resources (Franklin Templeton), rebranded from Royce & Associates in December 2019 and continues to distribute year-end dividends and capital gains, as announced for 2025. In recent performance, the fund advanced 8.6% in Q3 2025, declared 2025 year-end distributions, and featured portfolio manager insights in Barron's on policy impacts, reflecting ongoing active management amid small-cap value trends.
