Developing Strength in Developing Markets
Feb 22, 10:10 AM EST |
|
| AIM Developing Markets Fund managers Steve Cao and Borge Endresen believe emerging
markets fundamentals have dramatically improved. That’s why they are comfortable with a growth-style investment process that emphasizes bottom-up stock selection. Volatility is not a thing of the past, but long-term investors may be amply rewarded for enduring that volatility. With low correlation to the U.S. market, the fund may provide a diversification benefit to the
U.S. investor. |

Dec 18, 9:52 AM EST |
|
| With a global mandate for seeking small-cap growth opportunities and with global resources to draw upon, the Allianz RCM Global Small-Cap Fund feels free to invest anywhere in the world. Ideally, the fund would invest in growth companies in a growing industry. But since we don’t live in a perfect world, portfolio manager Tom Ross most often looks for the companies with consistent growth that outperform peers in their competitive environment. |

Think and Invest Globally
Dec 07, 10:07 AM EST |
|
| The high yield world does not sound that risky when you talk to Greg Hopper, the manager of the Julius Baer Global High Income Fund. Spreading out of the traditional definition of the high yield category, the fund achieves diversification through investing in allied asset classes as long as they are senior to equity. A key feature of its strategy is the global approach and the equity-like analysis of the high-yield bond segment. |

Sep 29, 10:01 AM EST |
|
| A broadly diversified global fund, NFU Mutual Global Growth still stays away from regions that it considers risky or beyond its expertise. Focusing on the developed world markets, the manager Matthew Bennett looks for the sector leaders and often utilizes investment themes. With a very

One Size Doesn't Fit the Globe
Sep 28, 9:57 AM EST |
|
| A major differentiator for this global fund lies in its stockselection approach which varies across sectors and regions. A uniform, “one size fits all”, strategy would be too confining, as would adhering to a strict growth or a value discipline,
according to the manager Brett Gallagher. He needs the flexibility to analyze what’s important to the market at a given time and an organization able to quickly process that
information.

|
| Since international exposure usually represents only a small part of investors’ assets, it is most often concentrated only in
the style that has recently outperformed as advisors rarely have the capacity to offer more diversification. Recognizing that demand for style-specific non-US investing will grow, MFS has bundled together its five flagship international products to provide an easy and cost-effective access to truly
global markets.

Five International Managers in One Fund
Aug 25, 2:12 PM EST |
|
| Jeffrey Mortimer’s job isn’t stock picking. Instead, he picks managers, and more importantly, he picks how much capital
is allocated to each manager. The goal is to achieve a broadly diversified international fund that can have a value tilt or a
growth tilt depending on the macroeconomic environment. A key aspect of the fund’s strategy is the focus on future, not
past performance, and that is achieved through a proprietary mean reversion model.

Unlike the U.S.
Aug 01, 1:58 PM EST |
|
| It probably comes as a surprise to many Americans, but the U.S. accounts for only 45% of the world market capitalization. More
importantly, it presents investment opportunities that cannot be found domestically. Portfolio manager Leonardo A. Vila would dig through the entire supply chain to find the right small company of
an investment theme.

Looking for Global Low-Risk Opportunities
Mar 03, 1:53 PM EST |
|
| Nick Calamos, manager of Calamos International Growth Fund, believes that if you manage risk properly, the returns will take care of themselves. And there are plenty of risks in the international growth space, from macroeconomic policy risks to
accounting or company-specific risks. That's why the fund sticks to a cash flow perspective and to investing in high-return businesses able to sustain market and credit cycles.
