Investing in funds often requires intimate knowledge of market fluctuations, and funds such as the Royce Global Value Trust and the Micro-Cap Trust are no different in this regard. This piece aims to shed light on the performance of these two significant players in the market.
According to data disclosed by the Royce Global Value Trust as of August 31, 2023, the Trust's net asset value (NAV) stood at 11.13, and the market value at 9.16. The average annual total return data revealed a mixed bag of results with 8.59% (NAV) and 5.90% (MKT) returns year to date, a more subdued 2.11% (NAV) and -1.71% (MKT) for the past three years, and a slightly more promising 3.59% (NAV) and 3.16% (MKT) for the past five years.
