      Just as variable annuity and insurance products began to offer a wider array of investment options to investors, small-caps were becoming a more accepted component of asset allocation plans, so we felt it was important to make our small-cap funds available in these insurance vehicles.

      Fifteen years ago, on December 27, 1996, Royce introduced two portfolios that are available to life insurance company separate accounts established to fund variable annuity and variable life insurance products. Both use a disciplined value approach and seek long-term growth of capital.

      Royce Capital Fund—Small-Cap Portfolio uses a disciplined value approach to invest in small-cap companies, those with market caps up to $2.5 billion. Jay Kaplan manages the Fund. Assets $659 million (9/30/11)

      Royce Capital Fund—Micro-Cap Portfolio uses a disciplined value approach to invest primarily in the equity securities of micro-cap companies, those with market capitalizations up to $500 million. Jenifer Taylor manages the Fund, assisted by Whitney George and David Nadel. Assets $547 million (9/30/11)

      Today, as these funds mark their 15-year anniversaries, they are available to annuity investors through many insurance companies, including Great West, IDS Life, Nationwide, New York Life, Ohio National, PacLife, Protective Life, Prudential, Security Benefit, Transamerica and Travelers.
