Grandeur Peak Global Micro Cap Fund Institutional Class (GPMCX)

Overview

The fund focuses on investing primarily in micro-cap companies both within the United States and internationally. By dedicating at least 80% of its assets to equity securities of companies with market capitalizations of under $1 billion at the time of purchase, the fund seeks to explore the high-growth potential of micro-cap markets. Furthermore, a significant portion of the fund's investments are allocated to companies that are economically tied to countries outside of the United States, including those within emerging and frontier markets. This strategic approach enables the fund to diversify its investment portfolio and tap into the growth opportunities available in these lesser-known markets.
