ISMRX Investment Objective and Strategy
Lmcg International Small Cap Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Forum Funds.
Investment objective
The LMCG International Small Cap Fund (the Fund) seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
The Adviser seeks to achieve the Funds investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in the equity securities of small capitalization companies. For these purposes, the Fund considers small capitalization companies to be those that, at the time of investment, are within the range of the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index (the Index). As of June 30, 2018, the market capitalization range of companies in the Index was $88.7 million to $8.5 billion. Equity securities in which the Fund invests may include common stock, preferred stock, real estate investment trusts (REITs), American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs). Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests primarily in companies in developed markets outside of the United States.
The Adviser defines developed markets as including those represented in the Index, such as Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Japan and Hong Kong. The Fund also may invest up to 10% of its total assets in companies in each of the United States and Canada, and up to 10% of its total assets in companies in emerging market countries. The location of companies in which the Fund invests may be determined by a companys country of incorporation, the location of the securities exchange on which its securities are principally traded, or where it derives the majority of its revenues. The Advisers investment strategy is centered on fundamental principles and uses well-known investment metrics to evaluate securities in a quantitative framework. The strategy combines growth and value approaches to investing.
Stocks are ranked on a variety of quantitative factors which are used to produce an overall attractiveness score. The Fund is not limited by a fixed allocation of assets to stocks of either growth or value companies and, depending on the economic environment and judgment of the Adviser, may invest in either growth companies or value companies to the exclusion of the other. The Adviser also may allocate investment opportunities in stocks based on earnings quality. In addition, the Fund may invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that provide international small cap exposure, as well as other registered investment companies, money market funds, initial public offerings (IPOs), and 144A securities. The Fund may, from time to time, utilize stock index futures to gain exposure on short-term cash investments.
