DGGAX Investment Objective and Strategy
Delaware International Small Cap Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Delaware Group Global & International Funds.
Investment objective
Delaware International Small Cap Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in common stocks of non-US companies, which may include companies located or operating in developed or emerging markets. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in small-capitalization equity securities (80% policy). The Fund?s 80% policy is nonfundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval. Fund shareholders would be given at least 60 days? notice prior to any such change. The Manager currently invests primarily in smaller market capitalization companies domiciled outside of the United States. The Manager considers companies with a market capitalization of $5 billion or less to be small-cap companies. The Fund may continue to hold the securities of a small-cap company even if the company?s market cap exceeds $5 billion.
The Fund will invest at least 40% of its net assets in non-US securities. While the Fund invests primarily in developed markets (ex-US), the Fund may invest up to 30% of its net assets in emerging markets. The Fund will primarily invest in countries included in the MSCI ACWI ex USA Small Cap Index. Benchmark weightings may result in the Fund investing over 25% in any one country. Using a bottom-up approach, the Manager will seek to select securities of companies that it believes are undergoing positive fundamental change, which may lead to better-than-expected earnings growth. The Manager believes that the magnitude and duration of growth driven by positive fundamental change is often underestimated and that the shares of companies experiencing such a change typically will continue to experience relative price strength and continue to outperform the broader market.
The Manager may sell a security if it no longer believes that the security is likely to contribute to meeting the investment objective of the Fund or if there are other opportunities that appear more attractive.
