RMB Mendon Financial Services Fund Class I (RMBLX)

Overview

The fund is designed to cater to investors looking for exposure to the U.S. financial services sector, focusing on delivering returns through strategic investments primarily in mid, small, and micro-cap companies within the industry. By allocating at least 80% of its net assets, plus any additional funds borrowed for investment purposes, into stocks of domestic firms operating in financial services, the fund aims to leverage the growth potential of these sectors. It operates with a flexible size approach, though it primarily targets companies beyond the large-cap spectrum, identifying potential growth opportunities among smaller entities that contribute significantly to the financial services industry.

Products and Services

The following are the primary investment focuses of the fund within the financial services sector:

• Mid-Cap Financial Services Companies: These are firms with a market capitalization in the middle range of all publicly traded companies. Investing in these companies offers a balance between the growth potential of small-cap companies and the stability of large-cap companies, potentially providing moderate to high returns.
• Small-Cap Financial Services Companies: These companies have smaller market capitalization and can offer higher growth potential compared to mid-cap and large-cap companies. Investments in small-cap firms can be riskier but may reward investors with higher returns, tapping into niche markets or innovative financial services.
• Micro-Cap Financial Services Companies: Micro-cap companies are on the lowest end of the market capitalization spectrum. While investing in these firms carries a higher level of risk due to their size, market volatility, and liquidity issues, they can offer substantial rewards to investors willing to accept the risks for the possibility of significant gains, often being at the forefront of innovation within the financial sector.
