Products and Services

The fund offers investment opportunities through several key strategies:

• Investment in Small- and Micro-Cap Companies: Targeting companies with smaller market capitalizations allows investors to tap into potential high-growth opportunities that larger companies may not offer. These investments come with higher risks but can lead to significant returns.
• Global Diversification: By investing at least 40% of its total assets in securities from companies economically tied to various countries outside the U.S., the fund provides a diversified global portfolio. This strategy aims to mitigate risks associated with investing in a single country or region and capitalize on growth opportunities globally.
• Emerging and Frontier Markets Focus: Up to 50% of the fund's assets may be invested in securities from emerging and frontier markets. These markets, while more volatile, can offer substantial growth potential. The fund's strategy in these markets is to seek out undervalued companies that show strong potential for profitability and growth.
