Our read on BBSC
In short
BJ.P. Morgan's quiet small-cap index fund: roughly 900 names, a 0.09% fee well under the category median, and an index it follows tightly. The trade-off is thin trading volume.
Stated mandate
The fund is designed to provide exposure to the U.S. small-cap equity market through an indexed approach. It seeks to track its underlying index by using a passive strategy.
