Fund Overview
Summary
Investing in undervalued, dividend-paying stocks of smaller foreign companies
AllianzGI NFJ International Small Cap Value Fund focuses on dividend-paying, small-capitalization foreign companies with long-term potential that may have gone unrecognized by the market. While offering the potential for capital appreciation, the Fund also pays strict attention to risk management—a hallmark of NFJ Investment Group.
Why invest in this fund?
- Potentially enhanced portfolio returns and increased diversification
The Fund provides investors with the opportunity to access a wide range of small-cap international equities, an overlooked but increasingly important asset class that has the potential to provide enhanced returns and increased portfolio diversification. Further, NFJ believes that stocks with lower valuations and sustainable dividend payments outperform over market cycles. The Fund applies these important criteria to a universe of smaller foreign companies—those with market capitalizations between $500 million and $5 billion (2,500-3,000 companies).
- Commitment to risk management
NFJ seeks to avoid overexposure to any one sector by placing strict limits on industry and issuer concentrations, and seeking diversification across a broad range of industries. The managers also expect every holding to pay a dividend, which can offer a cushion during periods of volatility. Of course, diversification does not ensure against a loss and dividend paying stocks are not guaranteed to continue to pay dividends.
- Managed by a seasoned deep value team
NFJ Investment Group has been dedicated to a pure, deep value approach to stock investing since the firm was founded, and its tightly knit investment team represents decades of experience. Investment professionals serve as research analysts and portfolio managers, a structure that actively encourages the free flow of ideas and vigorous debate.
