About International Small Cap
Investment Objective
The International Small Cap team seeks to provide a return that outperforms the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index, net of our management fee, over a full market cycle.
Investment Overview
International Small Cap Equities are a fascinating asset class marked by exceptional diversity, notable growth prospects, and frequent neglect from large investment managers. TSW’s International Small Cap strategy applies a bottom-up, fundamental approach to investing. We seek stocks having a combination of three characteristics: mispriced shares relative to our estimate of intrinsic value, identifiable catalysts for positive change and upside potential that meaningfully exceeds downside risk over an 18- to 36-month time horizon.
Investment Process
TSW employs a disciplined investment process
Strategy Highlights

A tenured team with over a decade of averaged experience working together
A time-tested approach

None of the MSCI data is intended to constitute investment advice or a recommendation to make (or refrain from making) any kind of investment decision and may not be relied on as such.
Periods less than one year are not annualized. Performance represents the International Small Cap composite. Performance is shown gross and net of management fees and includes reinvestment of dividends and other income.
