| Vaughan Nelson Small Cap Value Fund
Fund focus
Vaughan Nelson Small Cap Value Fund invests in an aggressive, diversified portfolio of small-cap stocks.
What you should know
While the fund allows investors to participate in the attractive small-cap segment, these investments carry special risks, including narrower markets, limited financial and management resources, less liquidity and greater volatility than large-company stocks.
Investment strategy
Vaughan Nelson seeks to take advantage of temporary information and marketplace inefficiencies in the small-cap universe, to find opportunities to invest in companies at valuations materially below their long-term intrinsic value.
