About AOPAX

Virtus International Small-Cap Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on delivering long-term capital appreciation by investing predominantly in small-cap companies outside the United States. The fund utilizes a systematic, bottom-up approach to selecting equity securities, emphasizing businesses with smaller market capitalizations and above-average earnings growth potential, particularly those positioned in sectors or regions demonstrating robust growth trends. By spanning both developed and emerging international markets, the fund aims to exploit market inefficiencies and provide diversified exposure to the global small-cap segment. Portfolio management incorporates quantitative techniques, behavioral finance principles, and proactive risk controls to balance return opportunities with volatility mitigation. The fund is designed for investors seeking access to foreign small- and mid-cap value stocks, and it plays a distinctive role in offering diversification beyond U.S. equities while targeting companies that may be overlooked in larger-cap or domestic-focused strategies. Since its inception in 2010, it has maintained a focus on uncovering attractive international growth opportunities while managing downside risk through a disciplined investment process.
