    2. Royce Micro-Cap Trust (RMT) is a closed-end fund that invests primarily in companies with market capitalizations less than $500 million. Due to this sector’s size and limited research coverage, there is more opportunity to find pricing inefficiencies. Therefore, we believe that the potential for higher returns, commensurate with a higher level of risk, is greater than for any other sector of the domestic equity marketplace.
