About QISRX
The Pear Tree Polaris International Opportunities Fund R6 is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with exposure to the growth potential of companies primarily based in developed markets outside the United States.

Managed by Polaris Capital Management, the strategy combines quantitative and fundamental analysis, employing a rigorous screening process to evaluate a universe of over 40,000 companies, which is then narrowed based on value criteria and in-depth financial research. The fund emphasizes a bottom-up approach to stock selection, focusing on businesses with strong and undervalued cash flows across a wide range of sectors and countries.
