About GPEOX
Grandeur Peak Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund Investor Class is a mutual fund focused on delivering long-term capital growth by investing primarily in micro- to mid-cap companies with significant economic ties to emerging and frontier markets. Its portfolio is diversified across industries and geographies, with a notable emphasis on sectors such as technology, industrials, consumer staples, and financial services. The fund typically holds over 20% of its assets in its top 10 holdings, reflecting a conviction in selected growth opportunities within the emerging markets category.
Classified within the Diversified Emerging Markets segment, the fund distributes its assets among a broad range of nations, concentrating especially on regions in Asia and Latin America. It is managed by a team employing proprietary analytics and research strategies to identify under-the-radar companies with growth potential. The fund's approach aims to capture the dynamic economic development of emerging economies, providing investors exposure to fast-growing, yet volatile, markets. While the fund is positioned for growth, its expense ratio is higher than many of its peers, and it carries a moderate to high degree of market risk inherent to emerging market equities.
