Marquette’s AIM Small Cap Equity Fund returned 24.9% in 2017!
Marquette AIM students manage three funds. The oldest and
largest is the AIM Small Cap Equity Fund - which posted a preliminary total
return of 24.91% for the 2017 calendar year.
This represents a return of over
1000 basis points in excess of the primary benchmark – which is the Russell
2000 Index - which posted an impressive total return of 14.65% for the year.
As the table below shows, the Marquette AIM Small Cap Fund has
now out-performed the primary benchmark for the past 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year periods.
The 10-year annualized return of 8.01%
still trails the Russell 2000 Index.
