Reasons to invest
The Invesco International Small-Mid Company Fund provides exposure to international small- and mid-cap companies positioned to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for investors over market cycles. The team seeks to deliver favorable performance in a market segment often overlooked by many investors.
Overlooked asset class
Investors may miss out on the potential benefits of international small- and mid-cap stocks as we believe they focus too much on large-cap companies.
Focus on quality
Within healthy and growing industries, we seek companies with consistently high returns on capital and the strategic positioning we believe will enable them to compound returns over time.
Risk-aware
The investment team focuses equally on downside risk and upside potential and seeks investments with strong business models and healthy balance sheets.
