Small, well-run companies exist all over the world providing investors with dynamic growth potential and attractive investment opportunities. Despite this, international small cap equities remain underinvested and largely overlooked by investors. While it might be hard to believe in today’s world of increased globalization, advanced technology, and greater access to capital markets that international small cap stocks remain mostly undiscovered, investors should view this as an opportunity. We believe there are unique benefits for investors to weigh when considering an allocation to international small cap equities.
Despite the potential for continued outperformance, higher expected growth, and enhanced portfolio diversification that international small caps may provide, many investors are not yet taking advantage of the opportunities that exist throughout the world. We think it’s time investors consider a dedicated allocation to international small cap equities.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.
All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Small-and medium-capitalization companies tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. Investments in foreign securities and emerging markets countries involve greater volatility and political, economic, and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater for emerging markets. Please note that diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.
