Saxon Financial Inc. has launched three new small cap funds: Saxon Microcap Fund, Saxon U.S. Small Cap Fund, and Saxon Global Small Cap Fund.

Each fund is available to institutional and retail investors, including clients purchasing the new Advisor Series through a financial advisor.

Extending Saxon’s 22-year small cap value investing expertise, Saxon Microcap Fund currently focuses on Canadian companies with a capitalization of less than $150 million. Among the few true microcap funds in Canada, Saxon Microcap Fund is further distinguished by being the only such fund managed according to the principles of value investing.

Saxon U.S. Small Cap Fund and Saxon Global Small Cap Fund provide investors with the opportunity to capture the historic outperformance of small caps.

Saxon says global research indicates small caps have added returns of 3% to 5% per year over benchmark indices over the long term, and provide greater exposure to industry sectors not well represented among large caps.

“The addition of these three specialty small cap funds to the Saxon family gives investors greater performance potential and diversification benefits,” says Allan Smith, president and CEO. “Our statistically grounded, bottom-up investment process will be used to select undervalued stocks among the vast offerings of small caps in Canada and around the world.”

Additional information about each fund is available in the simplified prospectus which is available at the Canadian Securities Administrators System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) Web site: www.sedar.com.
