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. The fund falls within the foreign large blend category, making it suitable for those seeking exposure to global equities beyond domestic holdings. It is notable for its focus on non-U.S. issuers, broad diversification—often holding hundreds of securities—and collaboration with reputable asset managers who combine qualitative and quantitative selection methods. The fund also seeks to deliver income as a secondary objective, typically through dividends from its holdings, and maintains a moderate expense ratio. Since its inception in 2003, Optimum International Fund Class C has played a significant role in providing access to international markets for investors looking to diversify their portfolios and participate in global economic growth.
