  1. Royce Focus Value Fund (RYFVX)

    Service Class
    FOCUSED

    Focused Funds generally employ a more limited portfolio approach—typically holding no more than 100 positions—and whose holdings possess what we believe are attractive valuations and higher quality characteristics.

    2. Royce Focus Value Fund (RFV) seeks long-term growth of capital. Royce invests the Fund’s assets primarily in the equity securities of companies that it believes are trading significantly below its estimate of their current worth. Royce bases this assessment chiefly on balance sheet quality and cash flow levels. Although the Fund may invest in the equity securities of companies of any market capitalization, Royce expects that a significant portion of the Fund’s assets may be invested in the equity securities of micro-cap, small-cap and mid-cap companies, those with market capitalizations of less than $10 billion.
