About OBIOX
The Oberweis International Opportunities Fund Institutional Class is an open-end mutual fund that focuses on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies based outside the United States. Its strategy emphasizes small and medium-sized companies, particularly those in developed and select emerging markets across Europe, the UK, Canada, Asia, Japan, and Latin America. By seeking out lesser-known, rapidly growing firms that may not receive significant institutional coverage, the fund aims to uncover unique growth opportunities. It employs a fundamental, bottom-up research process complemented by behavioral finance principles, constructing a diversified portfolio intended to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns over a full market cycle. This approach provides investors with exposure to international equities and enhances diversification beyond the U.S. market, making it a tool for asset allocation and access to global growth potential in the small- and mid-cap space. The fund benchmarks its performance against indices such as the MSCI World ex-US Small Cap Growth Index and the MSCI EAFE Index, reflecting its focus within the foreign small/mid-growth category.
