Value Line Small Cap Opportunities Fund Institutional Class (VLEIX)

Overview

The company described is an investment adviser that focuses predominantly on stocks of U.S. companies, particularly those with small market capitalizations. It commits at least 80% of its fund's assets towards investments in these small-cap companies. However, it also diversifies its portfolio by occasionally investing in U.S. mid-market capitalization companies. The selection criteria for investments are companies that either conduct business within the U.S., are organized under U.S. laws, or have their stock traded on U.S. exchanges or over-the-counter markets. This strategic approach positions the company to leverage the growth potential of small and mid-sized U.S. companies for its investors.

The investment adviser offers the following primary products and services:

• Small-Cap Equity Funds - This service focuses on investing in stocks of U.S. companies with small market capitalizations.
