About IRCSX
AB International Small Cap Fund is an actively managed mutual fund focused on delivering long-term capital growth by investing primarily in small-capitalization companies located outside the United States. Managed by AllianceBernstein since 2015, the fund maintains a diversified portfolio, with at least 80% of its net assets allocated to equity securities of international small-cap firms, spanning sectors such as industrials, technology, financial services, and communication services. Notable holdings include companies like International Games System, Saab AB, and E Ink Holdings. The fund is classified within the Foreign Small/Mid Blend category and typically holds a large number of positions, offering broad international exposure with minimal allocation to domestic stocks or bonds. With over $1.2 billion in assets, the fund plays a significant role for investors seeking diversified access to growth-oriented, non-U.S. small-cap equities. While its expense ratio is above the category average, the fund aims to outperform its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI Ex USA Small NR USD Index, through active security selection and portfolio management.
