About BISAX
Brandes International Small Cap Equity Fund Class A is a mutual fund designed to pursue long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of small-capitalization companies located outside the United States. The fund identifies opportunities in companies with a market capitalization of $7.5 billion or less at the time of purchase and emphasizes a value investing strategy, targeting stocks that its management team believes are undervalued relative to their intrinsic worth. Its portfolio is geographically diverse, spanning developed and emerging markets, with the ability to allocate up to 30% of assets to emerging and frontier market securities. The fund's holdings encompass various sectors, with notable concentration in industrials, communication services, real estate, and financial services. Managed by an experienced team, the fund holds a moderate number of positions—typically around 70 to 80 stocks—offering investors broad exposure to international small-cap equities. With a minimum initial investment requirement and an expense ratio consistent with actively managed funds in its category, this fund plays a significant role for investors seeking diversified access to the international small-cap value segment of the equity market.
