Important Performance and Expense Information
All performance information reflects past performance, is
presented on a total return basis, net of the Fund's investment
advisory fee, and reflects the reinvestment of distributions. Past
performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance
may be higher or lower than performance quoted. Returns as of the
recent month-end may be obtained at www.royceinvest.com. The market
price of the Fund's shares will fluctuate, so that shares may be
worth more or less than their original cost when sold.
The Fund invests primarily in securities of small-cap and
micro-cap companies, which may involve considerably more risk than
investing in larger-cap companies. The Fund's broadly diversified
portfolio does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss. From
time to time, the Fund may invest a significant portion of its net
assets in foreign securities, which may involve political,
economic, currency, and other risks not encountered in U.S.
investments.

1Geometric Average: This weighted
calculation uses each portfolio holding's market cap in a way
designed to not skew the effect of very large or small holdings;
instead, it aims to better identify the portfolio's center, which
Royce believes offers a more accurate measure of average market cap
than a simple mean or median.

2Harmonic
Average: This weighted calculation evaluates a portfolio as if
it were a single stock and measures it overall. It compares the
total market value of the portfolio to the portfolio's share in the
earnings of its underlying stocks.

The Price-Earnings, or P/E, ratio is calculated by
dividing a company's share price by its trailing 12-month
earnings-per-share (EPS). The Fund's P/E ratio calculation excludes
companies with zero or negative earnings (12% of portfolio holdings
as of 12/31/22). The Price-to-Book, or P/B, Ratio is calculated by
dividing a company's share price by its book value per share.
The Price-to-Book, or P/B, Ratio is calculated by
