- Alger Funds II - Alger Dynamic Opportunities Fund Class A (SPEDX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation through a long-short equity strategy, investing primarily in a portfolio of U.S. and foreign equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, and convertible securities of large-, mid-, and small-capitalization companies undergoing positive dynamic change; it maintains significant cash positions and employs short-selling to manage risk and enhance returns. The fund offers Class A shares with a front-end load of 5.25%, a net expense ratio of approximately 2.07%, and a minimum initial investment of $1,000, targeting growth-oriented investors in the United States. Managed by a team including Gregory Adams and Daniel Chung since inception, with recent additions such as George Ortega in January 2024, the fund holds diversified sector exposures led by communication services, technology, and healthcare, alongside top holdings like NVIDIA Corp. and Microsoft Corp. Alger Funds II operates as part of the Alger family of funds managed by Fred Alger Management, LLC, a privately held growth equity investment manager founded in 1964 and headquartered in New York City; the firm oversees approximately $27 billion in assets across mutual funds, ETFs, separate accounts, and other vehicles focused on U.S. and international markets. The SPEDX fund, launched on November 2, 2009, and domiciled in the United States, maintains total net assets of around $230 million, with Class A shares comprising about $35 million. Recent developments at Fred Alger Management include the January 2024 acquisition of Redwood Investments, LLC, a Massachusetts-based global growth equity manager with over $1.6 billion in assets, enhancing international small-cap capabilities and leading to the launch of the Alger International Small Cap Fund (AFAIX) sub-advised by Redwood; in 2024-2025, the firm launched high-conviction ETFs such as ALAI (AI-focused) and CNEQ, surpassing $600 million in ETF assets by October 2025, alongside promotions like George Ortega to portfolio manager across strategies including Dynamic Opportunities. These expansions reflect Alger's strategic shift toward diversified growth vehicles, including actively managed ETFs and international equities, while maintaining its core philosophy of investing in disruptive innovation. The firm also rebalanced indices like the Alger Russell Innovation Index in late 2025.
