About BISRX
Brandes International Small Cap Equity Fund Class R6 is a mutual fund specializing in international small-cap equities. Its core objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities, such as common and preferred stocks, warrants, rights, convertible securities, and ETFs, all issued by small-cap companies located outside the United States. The fund employs a value-driven investment approach, seeking out global businesses considered undervalued relative to their intrinsic worth. Covering a diversified spectrum of sectors, including industrials, financials, consumer defensive, and real estate, it targets companies with growth potential across both developed and emerging markets. The fund's diversified portfolio typically holds around 66 to 74 securities, reflecting exposure to a broad array of international economies and industries. As a Class R6 share, it features a competitive net expense ratio of 1.00% and provides quarterly dividend distributions. By focusing on international small-cap stocks, the fund plays a significant role in offering investors access to growth opportunities and diversification outside the large-cap and U.S.-centric segments of the global equity market. Its disciplined process and commitment to value investing are hallmarks of Brandes’ management philosophy.
