Wasatch Bolsters Small Cap Value Lineup with New Fund Launches

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wasatch Global Investors has announced the launch of the Wasatch Global Small Cap Value Fund (WACVX/WGCVX) and the Wasatch International Small Cap Value Fund (WASVX/WGSVX). The Funds’ launch follows the hiring of Mark Madsen and Karson Schrader from Grandeur Peak Global Advisors early in 2025.

The new international and global small cap value Funds provide a unique offering that has both growth and value characteristics and draws upon Wasatch’s 50-year legacy of identifying high-quality small-cap growth companies.

The new Funds add to Wasatch’s small-cap value franchise, which already includes a U.S. small-cap value fund with a 28-year history. The Funds will closely align with the time-tested investment process of the Wasatch Small Cap Value Fund (WMCVX/WICVX), which typically seeks companies that the investment team classifies into three categories at the time of purchase:

  • Undiscovered Gems — companies with good growth potential that have yet to be broadly discovered by Wall Street analysts and are thus actively undervalued relative to their expected growth rate
  • Fallen Angels — high-quality growth companies that have experienced a temporary setback and therefore have appealing valuations relative to their long-term growth potential
  • Quality Value — quality companies with earnings potential that is not fully reflected in their stock prices

Mark Madsen, the Funds’ lead portfolio manager, commented, “The new international and global small cap value Funds provide a unique offering that has both growth and value characteristics and draws upon Wasatch’s 50-year legacy of identifying high-quality small-cap growth companies. We believe it offers what many investors want: a price-sensitive portfolio of high-quality, dynamic companies with attractive growth rates.”

Wasatch expects the Funds to become available on intermediary platforms in the coming weeks, and clients interested in investing directly with Wasatch can do so immediately.
