Description: RVT Royce Value

Royce Small-Cap Trust (RVT) is a closed-end equity mutual fund managed by Royce & Associates, LLC. Launched in 1986, the fund focuses on value-oriented small-cap and micro-cap companies within the United States. It maintains a diversified portfolio across multiple sectors and utilizes the Russell 2000 Index as its primary performance benchmark.

The fund operates within the Asset Management & Custody Banks industry, a sector where firms generate revenue primarily through management fees based on a percentage of assets under management (AUM). Unlike open-end funds, closed-end funds issue a fixed number of shares that trade on an exchange, often resulting in the share price trading at a premium or discount to the funds net asset value (NAV).
