About PGIIX
Polen Global Growth Fund Institutional Class is an open-end mutual fund designed to achieve long-term capital growth by investing in a concentrated portfolio of high-quality global equities. The fund typically holds between 25 to 40 stocks of large-cap companies, each with a market capitalization exceeding $5 billion at the time of purchase. Investments span both developed and emerging markets, with at least 30–40% of assets typically allocated to non-U.S. firms, ensuring broad geographic diversification.
Managed by Polen Capital, the fund is non-diversified, allowing it to focus a significant portion of assets in fewer companies compared to diversified funds. The investment strategy centers on identifying businesses with sustainable competitive advantages, high barriers to entry within their industries, strong free cash flow, and consistent earnings growth. The fund avoids sectors that are capital intensive, cyclical, or heavily regulated—such as utilities and energy—in favor of more predictable, resilient companies.
With a minimum investment requirement of $100,000 and an expense ratio around 0.98%, this institutional class offering is geared toward professional and sophisticated investors seeking exposure to a curated selection of global growth leaders. Its role in the market is to provide access to a high-conviction, actively managed global equity portfolio emphasizing long-term value creation.
