About LIGGX
Loomis Sayles International Growth Fund A is an actively managed mutual fund focused on international equities. Its primary objective is long-term capital appreciation by investing predominantly in growth-oriented companies located outside the United States, including both developed and emerging markets. The fund typically holds a concentrated portfolio of 30 to 45 stocks, aiming for high conviction in its investment selections while maintaining diversification across multiple countries and sectors.
Notable features include a strong emphasis on sectors such as consumer discretionary, information technology, and health care, as well as a lower exposure to financials, energy, and materials compared to broad international benchmarks. The fund favors large-cap companies, with a significant portion of assets invested in firms with market capitalizations exceeding $50 billion. Portfolio turnover is kept low, reflecting a long-term, buy-and-hold approach. Managed by an experienced team at Loomis, Sayles & Company, the fund seeks to outperform its global benchmarks by identifying high-quality growth opportunities internationally, contributing to its role as a potential diversifier in globally oriented portfolios.
