Small Company Value
SMA overview
Value, quality partner, and contrarian
The Small Company Value SMA seeks long-term capital appreciation by conducting bottom-up fundamental analysis based on a value investment philosophy​​.

Performance is driven by applying a rigorous approach to evaluating true small-cap opportunities.

Key differentiators

  • Builds a differentiated, alpha-driving portfolio by encouraging skepticism and limiting group think
  • Leverages a bottom-up, fundamentals-driven, and true small-cap-value focus
  • Views risk management as a vital, all-encompassing aspect of the investment process

Allspring Managed Account Services (the firm) is a unit within Allspring Global Investments and is responsible for the management and administration of the Allspring Funds Management, LLC, retail separately managed account portfolios (wrap portfolios). Allspring Funds Management acts as a discretionary manager for separately managed accounts ("SMA") and as a non-discretionary model provider in a variety of managed account or wrap fee programs (“MA Programs”) sponsored by third party investment advisers, broker-dealers, or other financial services firms (a “Sponsor”). When acting as non-discretionary model provider, Allspring Funds Management responsibility is limited to providing non-discretionary investment recommendations (in the form of model portfolios) to the Sponsor. The Sponsor may use these recommendations in connection with its management of MA Program accounts. In these “model-based” programs, the Sponsor serves as the investment manager and maintains trade implementation responsibility.
