Causeway International Opportunities Fund is a blend of Causeway’s best skill sets, a fund-of-funds that combines Causeway International Value Fund (bottom-up, fundamental, developed markets) and Causeway Emerging Markets Fund (quantitatively managed with a targeted tracking error of 5%). Our quantitative research team developed a multi-factor model that gauges the relative attractiveness of emerging markets, and guides the portfolio managers in tactically allocating between the two Funds.
Our developed markets exposure aims to add value through intensive fundamental research implemented via a disciplined value approach. Our emerging markets exposure is the result of a quantitative strategy tailored to the unique growth, momentum, and risk characteristics of developing markets. Our proprietary tactical allocation model is designed to add additional value.
The Causeway International Opportunities Fund is a fully invested portfolio, with 120-200 underlying holdings. Allocation between developed and emerging markets can range from 0-2x the allocation of the MSCI All Country World Index ex-US.
