The Hotchkis & Wiley Small Cap Value Fund Class C is designed with the primary objective of generating capital appreciation for its investors. To achieve this, the fund predominantly allocates at least 80% of its total net assets, including any borrowed capital, into the equity securities (stocks) of small-capitalization companies. The fund's advisor, Hotchkis & Wiley Capital Management, LLC, identifies these small-cap firms as those possessing market capitalizations comparable to the companies listed in the Russell 2000® Index.
