Insights

The latest financial report from Royce Small-Cap Trust presents a compelling narrative of small-cap investment management. The fund's 18.13% market return significantly outperformed its NAV return of 12.64% over the past year, indicating strong investor demand and potential value realization. This performance becomes particularly noteworthy when considering the fund's substantial $2.0B asset base and high weekly trading volume of 1.5M shares, which provides ample liquidity for institutional investors.

The portfolio's construction reveals sophisticated risk management through sector diversification. The strategic overweight in Industrials (23.7%) and Financials (21.8%) positions the fund to capitalize on economic recovery cycles and rising rate environments. The Information Technology allocation of 16.9% balances traditional value sectors with growth potential.

The fund's valuation metrics warrant attention. A weighted average P/E of 17.1x and P/B of 2.1x suggest a balanced approach between growth and value. The 17% of holdings with zero or negative earnings indicates a measured approach to early-stage growth companies, while maintaining a core of established businesses.

The NAV discount to market price presents an interesting dynamic. Trading at $15.80 versus a $16.99 NAV suggests a potential arbitrage opportunity, though this gap has notably narrowed from historical levels, reflecting improved market sentiment toward small-cap valuations.

The concentration risk appears well-managed, with no single position exceeding 1.5% of the portfolio. The top holdings list, featuring companies like Assured Guaranty and PAR Technology, demonstrates a preference for market leaders within their respective niches, potentially offering better liquidity and stability compared to smaller competitors.

1Geometric Average: This weighted calculation uses each portfolio holding's market cap in a way designed to not skew the effect of very large or small holdings; instead, it aims to better identify the portfolio's center, which Royce believes offers a more accurate measure of average market cap than a simple mean or median.


2Harmonic Average: This weighted calculation evaluates a portfolio as if it were a single stock and measures it overall. It compares the total market value of the portfolio to the portfolio's share in the earnings of its underlying stocks.


The Price-Earnings, or P/E, ratio is calculated by dividing a company's share price by its trailing 12-month earnings-per-share (EPS). The Fund's P/E ratio calculation excludes companies with zero or negative earnings (17% of portfolio holdings as of 12/31/24). The Price-to-Book, or P/B, Ratio is calculated by dividing a company's share price by its book value per share.
