OBGIX Institutional Class

Fund Objective

Seeks capital appreciation through investment in small-cap growth companies globally. The Global Opportunities Fund invests in both U.S. and non-U.S. companies. The non-U.S. companies in which the Global Opportunities Fund invests may be securities of companies in developed or developing (or emerging) markets.

Investment Strategy

The Global Opportunities Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in the securities of relatively small companies, which, at the time of investment, have a market capitalization of less than or equal to $1.5 billion or are within the range of companies represented in the MSCI ACWI Small-Cap Index, whichever is greater, at the time of purchase. We anticipate that approximately 60% of the Fund’s assets will be invested in emerging companies outside the United States.

These fast-growing companies, which are typically in the rapid expansion phase of their lifecycle, are expected to offer exceptional growth potential. In essence, they represent a compilation of some of our best ideas across the firm.

Our Process

Process

Our process rests on our firmwide commitment to uncovering and capitalizing on the persistent and recurring stock pricing inefficiencies in global equities caused by a lag in investor response to new information. This lag in recognizing the catalysts likely to positively impact future earnings growth drives the security selection across all our strategies and mutual funds. The criteria used within each product, however, can differ. This is how our investment team implements our philosophy in the Global Opportunities fund.
