| The Eaton Vance Global Small-Cap Equity Strategy offers exposure to a broadly diversified portfolio of high quality, global small cap companies. |
| We focus on three definable inputs - Quality, Valuation, and Time (QVT). Our focus on quality drives a preference for well entrenched franchises with durable and scalable business models, typically benefitting from either structural growth (compounders) or structural change (improvers). We believe a disciplined combination of quality in a reward-to-risk framework with a long-term mind-set can uncover sources of alpha in the broad and inefficient small cap universe. |
