On May 1, Royce Investment Partners said the name of Royce Total Return will change to Royce Small-Cap Total Return on July 1. The change simply emphasizes the strategy's long-standing small-cap focus. The filing also clarifies that the fund typically invests at least 80% of net assets in small-cap securities; former filings generically said the fund invested at least 65% of net assets in equities (a threshold it always easily cleared). The update drops language about investing at least 90% of that 65% of net assets in dividend- or interest-paying securities, but dividends remain central to lead manager Miles Lewis' approach.
