The CRM Small Cap Value strategy began in October 1995. This strategy is offered as a separate account and mutual fund (Tickers: CRISX, CRMSX). Currently this strategy is soft-closed to new separate account investors.
The Small Cap Value strategy is designed to capture investment returns in a concentrated market capitalization range of stocks, from approximately $100 million to $1.5 billion. The investment philosophy and process is identical for our traditional products.
Supported by an experienced team of investment professionals, the portfolio managers make judgments about the relative attractiveness of various securities in selecting stocks for the portfolio. This strategy typically will be invested in 55 to 65 stocks. Although the portfolio is built from the bottom up, stock-specific risks, sector weightings and risk/reward characteristics are all taken into account in the portfolio construction process.
