About BIGFX

Baron International Growth Fund Retail Shares is a diversified mutual fund focused on long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in the common stocks of non-U.S. growth companies. The fund targets global equities outside the United States, seeking opportunities among both developed and developing markets, although it limits exposure to developing economies to no more than 35% of net assets. This approach enables diversification across various regions and sectors, with holdings typically spanning industries such as healthcare, technology, consumer cyclical, and financial services. The fund is categorized under the foreign large growth segment and maintains a relatively concentrated portfolio, generally holding fewer than 100 positions. With an inception date in early 2009, it has established a track record of participating in international equity growth while managing risk through geographic and sector diversification. Managed by Baron Capital Group, the fund is distinguished by its focus on companies with significant growth potential outside the U.S., aiming to offer investors access to innovative and expanding businesses across the global landscape.
