Funds In Focus

Aberdeen Small Cap Fund

Looking beneath the surface of small caps can sometimes bring a tear to our eyes.

Researching every investment, on paper and in-person, helps us keep under-performers from ever making the cut. At Aberdeen, we believe a well-diversified portfolio should always include a U.S. small-cap component.
