Summary

Allspring Special Global Small Cap's Morningstar Medalist Rating is now Under Review due to an upcoming management change. In December 2026, managers Vince Fioramonti and Justin Carr from Allspring’s core equity team will take over this fund. The change comes amid a stretch of execution woes and weak performance from the current team.
