We are devoted to the micro-cap space and focuses only on investing in micro-cap companies.

The Perritt MicroCap Opportunities Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of equity securities that at the time of purchase have a market capitalization (equity market value) of $500 million or less. The Fund seeks micro-cap companies that management believes have the potential for long-term capital appreciation based on superior or niche products or services, favorable operating characteristics, superior management, and/or other exceptional factors. Investors should expect the Fund to contain a mix of both value and growth stocks.YTD | 1-YR | 3-YR | 5-YR | 10-YR | 20-YR | SINCE INCEP.* | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling 800-331-8936. The funds impose a 2% exchange and redemption fee for shares held 90 days or less. Performance data quoted does not reflect the redemption or exchange fee. If reflected, total return would be reduced.
