SALT LAKE CITY, UT, USA, March 9, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Grandeur Peak Global Advisors^® announced today that it will launch the Grandeur Peak US Stalwarts Fund (GUSYX) on Thursday, March 19th. The new fund will be a sister fund to the existing Global Stalwarts (GGSYX) and International Stalwarts (GISYX) funds. It will seek to invest in what Grandeur Peak believes are best-in-class growth companies in the United States, primarily in the $1.5B - $10B market cap range because that is where the Grandeur Peak team is finding the most interesting growth opportunities in the US.

The US Stalwarts Fund will leverage the global research of the entire Grandeur Peak team, but focus its investments on US companies. The Fund’s holdings will typically be held in the Grandeur Peak global funds as well. By dedicating a fund to just the US segment of the global market, investors will have greater choice in selecting geographic asset allocation of their Grandeur Peak investments (Grandeur Peak Funds are available in Global, International, Emerging, and now US segmentations).

Lead portfolio managers for the US Stalwarts Fund, Randy Pearce and Brad Barth, also oversee the Global Stalwarts and International Stalwarts Funds. They tap into the breadth of experience and analysis of the 32-person Grandeur Peak research team to find what they believe are the most compelling investment opportunities. Randy Pearce, who also serves as the firm’s Chief Investment Officer, said: “We have planned for a dedicated US fund since the inception of the firm. We are a global investment firm and we believe that our ability to connect global dots makes us better US investors than those who aren’t seeing the full picture. We also recognize that having the dedicated focus of a US fund may in turn make us better global investors. Senior members of our investment team brought great US small-cap investment experience to the founding of Grandeur Peak, and we have invested in a long list of micro to mid-cap US companies since day one of the firm. We believe our disciplined process is well suited for this space and we are encouraged by how we’ve done in the US tranche of our global portfolios. We have been preparing to launch a US fund over the past year, and with the recent market sell-off, this feels like an appropriate time.”
