About PISMX
The Principal International Small Company Fund Institutional Class is a mutual fund designed to provide long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of small-capitalization companies outside the United States. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its net assets to these international small-cap stocks, focusing on businesses domiciled in developed markets across more than ten countries. Its investment approach emphasizes identifying companies poised for improvement, innovation, or transformative growth, aiming to uncover underappreciated opportunities before they become mainstream. Managed by a seasoned team with decades of industry experience, the fund is benchmarked against the MSCI World Ex-U.S. Small Cap Index. With a diversified portfolio spanning various sectors—including industrials, financials, real estate, and materials—the fund plays a significant role in offering exposure to global economic trends and emerging leaders among smaller firms. This makes it a compelling vehicle for institutional investors seeking diversification beyond U.S. borders and access to the potential growth of international small-cap markets.
