Marsico International Opportunities Fund (MIOFX)

Overview

This fund is designed for investors looking for long-term growth by investing primarily in the common stocks of large companies. These companies are carefully selected based on their potential for long-term capital appreciation. Managed by an investment adviser, the fund prioritizes high-quality companies believed to offer compelling future growth opportunities. The fund maintains a focused portfolio, generally holding a core position of between 20 and 35 common stocks. This approach reflects a conviction investment strategy, focusing on a relatively small number of carefully selected stocks rather than diversifying across a large number of holdings. Notably, the fund is classified as non-diversified, allowing it to make significant investments in fewer companies, which can lead to higher volatility and risk, but also the potential for significant returns.

Products and Services

The primary product offered by this investment fund is characterized by its focused approach towards long-term capital growth through investment in the common stocks of large, high-quality companies:

• Invesment in Common Stocks of Large Companies - The fund invests mainly in the common stocks of large companies that show considerable potential for long-term growth. These are typically established companies with a strong market presence and are selected based on their projected long-term capital appreciation potential.
• Core Position Holding - Maintaining a core position of between 20 and 35 common stocks, the fund adopts a focused investment strategy. This approach highlights the fund's conviction in its holdings and the desire to achieve significant returns through a concentrated portfolio, rather than spreading investment across a broad spectrum of stocks.
• High-Quality Companies with Growth Potential - By targeting high-quality companies, the fund looks for businesses that not only possess solid financial foundations but also have compelling prospects for future growth. This includes companies operating in industries with long-term growth trends or those positioned to capitalize on emerging market opportunities.
• Non-Diversified Fund Structure - The fund operates as a non-diversified fund, meaning it can invest a larger portion of its assets in fewer stocks. This strategy can increase the potential for higher returns, albeit with a corresponding increase in risk, as the fund's performance is more closely tied to the fortunes of its select investments.
