NBI Global Small Cap Fund

Tap into the potential of first-rate smaller companies

Sub-advised by PineStone Asset Management Inc.

Investment overview

First-rate companies come in an array of sizes. The Fund invests on a global scale in a diversified portfolio of high-quality small- and mid-cap stocks to benefit from the growth opportunities they offer while reducing risk through increased diversification. The strategy focuses on the following quality factors: 

  • Sustainable competitive advantages 
  • Proven track record 
  • Management quality 
  • Balance sheet strength 
  • Attractive valuation 

Key differentiators

The portfolio management team seeks to identify stocks that can:  

  • Generate a sustainable and strong return on invested capital (ROIC)
  • Provide ample long-term growth potential with incrementally higher ROIC
  • Generate strong and predictable free cash flows
  • Consistently compound shareholder wealth over time
  • Preserve capital

The investment philosophy rests on four pillars: 

  • Picking high-quality companies at attractive valuations
  • Developing a deep understanding of these companies and holding them for the long run
  • Reallocating capital appropriately based on conviction and risk/return potential
  • Applying methodically this investment philosophy

Why invest in this Fund?

The Fund offers investors looking to capture the untapped growth potential of small- and mid-cap stocks exposure to a carefully selected and globally diversified portfolio of promising companies set to generate attractive returns over the long term as they mature.
