About GPIOX
Grandeur Peak International Opportunities Fund Investor Class is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital growth by investing primarily in small- and micro-cap companies located outside the United States. Its portfolio spans a broad range of sectors and emphasizes holdings in developed and emerging markets globally, excluding U.S. companies. The fund’s investment strategy targets businesses with strong growth potential in international markets, with a particular emphasis on identifying undervalued or under-the-radar firms in the lower echelons of market capitalization.
The fund’s benchmark indices are the MSCI ACWI ex USA IMI Index and the MSCI ACWI ex USA Small Cap Index, ensuring comprehensive coverage of global small-cap equities outside the United States. With typically over 100 holdings and a moderate portfolio turnover, it offers diversification across geographies and industries—recent major allocations include technology, consumer staples, financials, healthcare, and industrials. Established in 2011, the fund serves investors seeking international diversification and exposure to the potential growth of smaller foreign companies, playing a niche but important role in the broader equity universe by focusing on market segments that are often overlooked by larger global funds.
