• We've built a large, proprietary research database which we use to analyze fundamental information on 4,500 international small/mid capitalization stocks.
• We've designed a distinct, bottom-up process in each of over 20 developed markets to find high growth stocks with earnings acceleration that are currently trading below their fair market values. We have defined the small/mid cap segment in each developed market.
• We select approximately 175 - 200 of the most attractive stocks in each developed market predominantly between $75 million and $5 billion in market capitalization.
• Our individual country weights are similar to the benchmark; our value-added is superior stock selection in each market.
