About MEQAX

American Century International Value Fund A is an open-end mutual fund focused on providing long-term capital growth by investing primarily in non-U.S. companies. The fund follows a value-oriented approach, emphasizing stocks that its managers believe are undervalued relative to their intrinsic worth. At least 65% of the fund’s net assets are typically allocated to international equities, spanning developed markets across Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. This strategic allocation exposes investors to a diverse set of industries and economic cycles outside the United States, aiming to capitalize on global opportunities and trends. The fund is designed for investors seeking diversification beyond domestic markets, with a focus on companies that may be overlooked or undervalued by the broader market. Through fundamental research and careful stock selection, the portfolio managers seek to identify securities with the potential for recovery or long-term appreciation. The fund’s performance is often measured against benchmarks such as the MSCI EAFE Value Index, reflecting its commitment to international value investing.
