minimal - The fund is not directly dependent on credit markets, but broader credit conditions can influence investor sentiment and market liquidity.
Profile
growth - Investors seeking capital appreciation through exposure to small-cap equities.
moderate - Small-cap funds generally exhibit higher volatility compared to large-cap funds, but FSLCX's active management may mitigate some of this risk.
