Keeley Small-Mid Cap Value Fund Class A (KSMVX)

Overview

The advisor is a specialized investment company focusing on equity securities of small to mid-sized companies. With a strategic approach to investing, the advisor aims to achieve its investment objective by allocating its assets primarily in companies that sit within the range defined for small or mid cap companies, adhering closely to the criteria of the Russell 2500® Value Index. This approach underscores the company's dedication to tapping into the potential of these market segments by investing under normal market conditions at least 80% of its net assets—and any borrowings for investment purposes—in a mix of common stocks and other equity type securities. These securities include preferred stock, convertible debt securities, and warrants, particularly of companies classified as either "small cap" or "mid cap." The company's investment strategy is especially designed for investors looking to diversify their portfolio with the dynamic and sometimes undervalued segments of the market, which are small and mid-sized companies.
