The Mercator International Opportunity Fund employs an opportunistic and contrarian approach to investing in developed international markets, focusing on companies listed in MSCI EAFE countries. The fund's strategy centers on thematic and bottom-up fundamental research, with management believing that stock prices follow business performance over the long term, making short-term market fluctuations less relevant. The portfolio maintains very low turnover by letting winners run, reflecting a patient capital approach. Top holdings include technology and semiconductor companies like MercadoLibre, ASM International, and BE Semiconductor Industries, alongside consumer discretionary names like Future PLC and Brunello Cucinelli. The fund has generated a 2.45% annualized return since inception in April 2018, though it has experienced significant volatility including a maximum drawdown of 55.96%. The strategy targets long-term capital appreciation through geographic diversification across developed markets, with minimum investments of $1,000 for Class I shares.
