Originally, the fund, which invests in companies that have had venture-capital investment within the last 10 years, was split into a domestic and an international piece. We found it had a truly global theme that could be pursued internationally. The Global Post-Venture fund is only one example of a shift toward investing in companies by industry rather than by geography. In sectors such as technology, companies are now being assessed on their competitiveness within the sector, not only within their region of the world. Now that you can understand the financials of international companies, there's no reason to lose out.
Globalization is the investor's friend.
