Focused International Growth

OFIGX Institutional Class

Fund Objective

The Oberweis Focused International Growth Fund’s investment objective is to maximize long-term capital appreciation.

Investment Strategy

The Fund invests principally in the common stocks of companies that Oberweis considers to have above-average long-term growth potential and the potential to exceed consensus analyst expectations. The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in the securities of companies based outside the United States. The Fund selects companies based on, among other things, its fundamental analysis of individual securities. Oberweis’ fundamental analysis entails an evaluation of an individual company’s future growth prospects, financial statement analysis, stock valuation in relation to OAM’s estimate of future earnings and cash flows, evaluation of competitive product or service offerings, future research and development pipeline and management interviews. Oberweis’ strategy for the Fund is concentrated and will generally hold the securities of 25 – 40 companies. There are no restrictions on the capitalizations of companies whose securities the Fund may buy; however, the Fund generally invests in the stocks of medium and larger capitalization companies with market capitalizations of more than $5 billion at the time of investment. The Fund may also invest in securities of countries in developed and developing (or emerging) markets.

The gross expense ratio of expense off set arrangements and expense reimbursements was 2.51% for OFIGX. Oberweis Asset Management, Inc. (OAM), the Fund’s investment advisor is contractually obligated through April 30, 2025 to reduce its management fees or reimburse OFIGX to the extent that total ordinary operating expenses exceed in any one year 0.95% expressed as a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets. Effective May 15, 2023, the adviser may recoup the amount of any expenses reimbursed under the contract within three years following the date of the reimbursement if the recoupment does not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the expense limitation in place at the time of the recoupment, or the expense limitation in effect at the time of the initial reimbursement, whichever is lower.


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 Focused International Growth fund.

The Oberweis Funds releases the top 10 holdings as of the most recent quarter-end after a 60-day lag. A complete list of holdings can be obtained by contacting a shareholder services representative after the aforementioned 60-day delay periods.

The Oberweis Funds invest primarily in small-cap companies, which may have volatile price movements. Continuous publication of the Funds’ current holdings has the potential to affect trading volume and the prices of the securities in which the Funds invest. By delaying the release of the holdings, Oberweis may be able to deter front running by traders who could impair our ability to build positions in our best ideas at the best prices.
