      Russel Kinnel, Director of Mutual Fund Research at Morningstar, announced that Royce Special Equity Multi-Cap Fund [RSEMX] will be added to the Morningstar FundInvestor 500 List.

      This Fund was introduced in January, 2011, and "is a large cap complement to Charlie Dreifus' Special [Equity] fund," says Kinnel. "I'm a big fan of what Dreifus has done at Royce Special [Equity]. He takes a deep dive into companies' accounting and invests only where the accounting is clean and the balance sheet is healthy. Historically, Royce Special [Equity] has held up very well in down markets and been a tad sluggish in rallies. It will be interesting to see if that strategy translates to large caps."

      Mr. Dreifus serves as Portfolio Manager for both Royce Special Equity Fund [RSEFX], which focuses on companies with market capitalizations up to $2.5 billion, as well as the newer Royce Special Equity Multi-Cap Fund [RSEMX], which applies this same investment discipline to a broader market-capitalization range: a significant portion of its assets may be invested in mid-cap and large-cap companies, those with market capitalizations of more than $5 billion.

      In total, eight of The Royce Funds are on the Morningstar FundInvestor 500 List: Royce Opportunity Fund, Royce Pennsylvania Mutual Fund, Royce Premier Fund (an "Analyst Pick"), Royce Special Equity Fund (an "Analyst Pick"), Royce Total Return Fund, Royce Value Fund, and Royce Value Plus Fund.
