The new fund seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted long-term returns by investing primarily in the stocks of undervalued U.S. small- and mid-cap companies (SMID-caps) that have durable competitive advantages, excellent management, lower financial risk, and the ability to grow over market cycles.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;SMID-caps generally offer the return potential of smaller stocks and the lower risk and fewer liquidity or capacity constraints of mid-cap stocks. Unlike large-cap companies, small- and mid-cap businesses may not be followed as closely, making the SMID-cap universe a fertile ground for active managers,&#8221; Kutasov said. &#8220;With our uncompromising focus on quality, in-depth fundamental research process, and differentiated approach to value investing, we believe the strategy offers an attractive option for conservative investors seeking exposure to the small-mid cap asset class.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The fund focuses on the portfolio team&#8217;s 25-35 strongest investment opportunities, with a long-term, low-turnover approach to realize full stock value potential.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While this fund allows investors to participate in the value segment of the market, our high-quality focus differentiates it from traditional value strategies,&#8221; Stone said. &#8220;We own companies that have strong balance sheets and high returns on capital, and avoid the portion of the index where there are unprofitable or highly leveraged companies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n        <span class=\"xn-person\">Rick Smirl<\/span>, executive vice president and chief operating officer at Virtus, added that the Virtus KAR Small-Mid Cap Value Fund aligns with KAR&#8217;s commitment to investment performance and risk management. &#8220;KAR is a strong investment partner that continues to address market demand for high-quality offerings across the market-cap spectrum, providing a multitude of distinctive strategies that are attractive to financial professionals and their clients.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>About <span class=\"xn-person\">Kayne Anderson Rudnick<\/span><\/b><br \/>\n        <br \/>\n        <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3251515-1&amp;h=1820701916&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kayne.com%2F&amp;a=Kayne+Anderson+Rudnick\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n          <span class=\"xn-person\">Kayne Anderson Rudnick<\/span><br \/>\n        <\/a> is an investment management firm founded in 1984 by entrepreneurs <span class=\"xn-person\">Richard Kayne<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-person\">John Anderson<\/span>, for whom the Anderson School of Management at the <span class=\"xn-org\">University of California, Los Angeles<\/span> is named.
