Objective and Strategy

Royce Micro-Cap Trust is s closed-end fund that invests primarily in companies with market capitalizations less than $500 million. Due to this sector's size and limited research coverage, there is more opportunity to find pricing inefficiencies. Therefore, we believe that the potential for higher returns, commensurate with a higher level of risk, is greater than for any other sector of the domestic equity marketplace.

Important Performance and Expense Information

All performance information reflects past performance, is presented on a total return basis and reflects the reinvestment of distributions. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than performance quoted. The market price of the Fund's shares will fluctuate, so that shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when sold.

The Fund normally invests micro-cap companies, which may involve considerably more risk than investing in a more diversified portfolio of larger-cap companies. The Russell 2000 is an unmanaged, capitalization-weighted index of domestic small-cap stocks. It measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest publicly traded U.S. companies in the Russell 3000 index.
