      Jay Kaplan, Portfolio Manager and Principal of Royce & Associates, appeared on Fox Business News' "Countdown to the Closing Bell" with Liz Claman on May 24, 2011 to talk about how he picks stocks and his outlook on the market.

      "We're looking for three things at Royce…a strong balance sheet, financial strength, great businesses, which we measure by high returns on capital…and we want to buy them cheap. To buy them cheap, there usually has to be a problem, so we step into the problem, we have a lot of patience, we wait for the problem to be solved and hopefully we make some money," said Kaplan.

      Jay Kaplan serves as Portfolio Manager for Royce Value Fund (with Whitney George), Royce Dividend Value Fund and Royce Total Return Fund (with Chuck Royce) and Royce Capital Fund - Small-Cap Portfolio.

      Important Disclosure Information


      Jay Kaplan is a Portfolio Manager and Principal of Royce & Associates, LLC, investment adviser to The Royce Funds. Mr. Kaplan's thoughts in this piece are solely his own and, of course, there can be no assurance with regard to future market movements.

      Mr. Kaplan serves as a Portfolio Manager for Royce Capital Fund - Small-Cap Portfolio, Royce Dividend Value Fund , Royce Total Return Fund, and Royce Value Fund. As of 3/31/11, none of those funds owned CISCO, or Juniper, which were mentioned in this interview. Fabrinet represented 0.35% of the assets of Royce Capital Fund - Small-Cap Portfolio.

      This material is not authorized for distribution unless preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing or sending money. The Fund invests primarily in small-cap and mid-cap stocks, which may involve considerably more risk than investing in larger-cap stocks. As of 3/31/11, the Fund held a limited number of stocks, which may involve considerably more risk than a less concentrated portfolio because a decline in the value of any one of these stocks would cause the Fund's overall value to decline to a greater degree. (Please see "Primary Risks for Fund Investors" in the prospectus.) The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities, which may involve political, economic, currency and other risks not encountered in U.S. investments. (Please see "Investing in Foreign Securities" in the prospectus.) 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.
