About EILAX
Eaton Vance International Small-Cap Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of foreign small-cap companies. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its net assets to these companies, seeking to exploit the breadth and inefficiencies present in the international small-cap universe. With an emphasis on high-quality or improving companies, the fund’s management employs a bottom-up, research-intensive approach to identify businesses that are well-positioned within their industries or offer competitive advantages and scalable operations. The fund is diversified across multiple countries and economic sectors, most commonly including industrials, financials, information technology, and real estate, with broad geographic representation such as Japan and other developed, and occasionally emerging, markets. This diversification, along with an experienced management team, positions the fund as a vehicle for investors seeking exposure to growth opportunities outside the United States within the small-cap space, leveraging global trends and regional market dynamics to seek superior risk-adjusted returns over time.
