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. The manager often seeks out special situations, and has a track record of identifying catalysts, where market-leading companies have been acquired. After deep fundamental analysis these businesses are purchased at a discount to our estimate of intrinsic value.
