Wasatch Global Investors announced today that effective at 4:00 p.m. EST on July 31, 2020, the Wasatch Core Growth and Small Cap Growth Funds—and related institutional strategies—will be “soft closed” to new investors. The Funds will be closed to new purchases, except purchases by new shareholders purchasing directly from Wasatch Funds, existing shareholders, and current and future clients purchasing through certain intermediaries, financial advisors and retirement plans with an established position.

“We reopened these Funds in March as market volatility and dislocations presented a special opportunity for long-term investors,” said JB Taylor, CEO of Wasatch Global Investors. “We take capacity seriously and now believe it is necessary again to close these Funds before asset growth impacts performance.”
