About WFPRX

Allspring Special Mid Cap Value Fund – Class R6 is a U.S. equity mutual fund focused on delivering long-term capital appreciation primarily through investments in medium-capitalization companies. The fund employs a disciplined and consistent approach, emphasizing valuation and favoring stocks with high reward-to-risk profiles. It seeks to build a portfolio of firms with durable assets, flexible balance sheets, and strong, sustainable free cash flows, which can help mitigate volatility caused by cyclical earnings fluctuations. The fund’s strategy involves appraising both upside and downside potential for each investment, resulting in a diversified portfolio that typically holds around 67–69 securities, with a notable concentration in its top holdings for targeted exposure. Managed by a seasoned team at Allspring Global Investments, the fund typically allocates at least 80% of its assets to U.S. mid-cap stocks and maintains a small portion in foreign equities. Performance is measured against benchmarks like the Russell Midcap® Value Index, with additional emphasis on disciplined risk-management metrics and relatively lower expense ratios within its peer group. The fund plays a significant role for investors seeking exposure to U.S. mid-cap value stocks, aiming to balance growth opportunities with measured risk in the broader equity market.
