About OCIEX

Optimum International Fund Class C is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with long-term capital growth by investing primarily in securities of companies located outside the United States. The fund pursues a diversified strategy that includes both developed and emerging markets, aiming to capture opportunities across a broad international landscape. Managed by experienced investment teams employing both fundamental and quantitative approaches, the fund’s portfolio is constructed to balance growth prospects and risk, featuring a wide variety of companies with durable, expanding business models.
