Classes B and G of the Pender Small Cap Opportunities Fund are currently open to retail investors.
The Pender Small Cap Opportunities Fund is an opportunistic, concentrated portfolio. The Fund is focused on undervalued small and microcap companies with strong underlying economics, predominantly in Canada.
