Strategy

Polen International Equity

Our International Equity strategy seeks long-term growth by investing in competitively advantaged non-U.S. companies that we believe are at key inflection points where accelerating revenue and earnings growth may not yet be fully reflected in market expectations. 

Number of Holdings: 65-85
Style: Growth
Benchmark: MSCI ACWI ex-US Index

  • Seeking out companies at inflection points where accelerating revenue and earnings growth may be underappreciated by the market.
  • A broad view of growth that spans secular growth, cyclical growth, turnarounds, and industry consolidators.
  • High-conviction portfolio built through deep fundamental research, scenario analysis, and disciplined risk controls. 

We believe identifying key inflection points in company fundamentals, where accelerating revenue and earnings growth may be underappreciated by the market, is central to driving long-term stock price appreciation. Each opportunity is evaluated through a disciplined framework that assesses the durability of the improvement, the degree to which the market may be underestimating the change, and the attractiveness of the risk/reward, with the goal of building a diversified, high-conviction portfolio of 65-85 holdings supported by clear portfolio construction and risk controls.
