SMID Cap Value Trailing Performance

As of  

September 30, 2024

Calendar year performance reflects past 10 years of data available.

Benchmark: Russell 2500™ Value Index. The Russell 2500™ Value Index measures the performance of the small to mid-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 2500 companies with relatively lower price-to-book ratios, lower I/B/E/S forecast medium term (2 year) growth and lower sales per share historical growth (5 years). Benchmark Source: Russell Investments. Russell Investment Group is the source and owner of the trademarks, service marks and copyrights related to the Russell Indexes. Russell® is a trademark of Russell Investment Group.

Periods less than one year are not annualized. Performance represents the SMID Value composite.  Performance is shown gross and net of management fees and includes reinvestment of dividends and other income. Gross returns will be reduced by investment advisory fees and other expenses that are incurred in the management of the account. Net of fee performance was calculated using the actual management fees charged. These figures have been rounded to the nearest hundredth.  Past performance is no guarantee of future results. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Performance disclosures can be found here.
