International Opportunities seeks to provide long term growth of capital in non-US equity markets.

The portfolio aims to outpace the MSCI All Country World Index ex US NR, and will invest in a diversified portfolio of securities across the globe, including stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). In an attempt to outperform its benchmark, the portfolio managers will employ a combination of both qualitative and quantitative analysis.
