About QUSRX
The Pear Tree Polaris Foreign Value Small Cap Fund is an international equity mutual fund that seeks long-term capital growth and income by investing primarily in small capitalization companies outside of the United States. Its portfolio typically consists of 50 to 100 stocks from developed markets in Europe, Australia, and the Far East, with additional exposure to select emerging market countries. Small cap holdings are generally defined as those with market capitalizations ranging from $50 million to $5 billion. The fund employs a disciplined investment process that combines quantitative screening and in-depth fundamental analysis, focusing primarily on undervalued companies with strong cash flows. Its management team, led by experienced professionals at Polaris Capital Management, applies a bottom-up approach to security selection across a diverse array of countries and industries. The fund is diversified across more than 15 foreign markets to help reduce specific country risk. Sector allocations emphasize financials, industrials, and consumer discretionary firms, reflecting opportunities in various global economic segments. By targeting international small cap value stocks, the fund offers exposure to dynamic companies that may be less correlated with large-cap and domestic equities, thereby playing a strategic role in broadening global equity diversification within investment portfolios.
