- Zacks Small-Cap Core Fund (ZSCCX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks capital appreciation through a hybrid quantitative and qualitative investment process focused on small-capitalization equity securities. The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of small-cap stocks, primarily U.S. issuers defined by the range of companies in the Russell 2000 Index, including common stocks, preferred stocks, and convertible securities; it may also hold equity securities of Canadian issuers, American Depository Receipts, and up to 25% of net assets in short-sale transactions, while opportunistically allocating across more than a dozen industry sectors such as financials, industrials, technology, healthcare, and real estate without style constraints. Investor Class shares (ZSCCX) feature a minimum initial investment of $2,500, subsequent investments of $100, a net expense ratio of 1.39% after waivers, and a 2% redemption fee if sold within 30 days; Institutional Class shares (ZSCIX) require a $5,000 minimum initial investment, $1,000 subsequent investments, and a net expense ratio of 1.14%. Launched on June 30, 2011, and managed by Zacks Investment Management, Inc. from headquarters in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with Mitch Zacks as senior portfolio manager since inception, the fund targets investors seeking high total return potential from small-cap exposure through a proprietary model emphasizing earnings revisions research, risk controls, and active trading. Assets under management stand at approximately $26.56 million for the fund and $11.63 million for the Investor Class, with a portfolio turnover rate of 135% for the fiscal period ended November 30, 2024. The fund operates within the small blend category, blending value and growth characteristics for U.S.-centric operations available through broker-dealers nationwide. In a significant reorganization on January 26, 2024, the fund acquired all assets and liabilities of its predecessor fund from Investment Managers Series Trust in a tax-free transaction, with shares exchanged accordingly while maintaining identical investment objectives, strategies, and management. The adviser contractually agreed to fee waivers and expense reimbursements through at least March 31, 2026, capping net expenses at current levels and allowing potential recoupment within three years. No recent acquisitions, partnerships, new product launches, or major strategic shifts beyond the reorganization have been reported as of late 2025.
