- Brandes International Equity Fund Class I (BIIEX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of non-U.S. issuers, including those in developed and emerging markets, which the fund's investment team identifies as undervalued relative to their intrinsic value using a disciplined, bottom-up value-investing approach; the portfolio typically holds approximately 65 stocks with a weighted average market capitalization of $90.6 billion, a price-to-book ratio of 1.4x, price-to-earnings ratio of 16.3x, and dividend yield of 3.9% as of September 30, 2025. The fund emphasizes flexibility in geographic and sector allocations, with top holdings including Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Sanofi SA, GSK PLC, and Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd.; sector exposures span consumer, health care, industrials, financials, materials, and energy; country allocations feature significant positions in Japan, France, the United Kingdom, China, and South Korea, alongside Brazil and Switzerland; and regional weightings include 75% in developed markets and 23% in emerging markets. Managed by the International Large-Cap Investment Committee of Brandes Investment Partners, L.P.—comprising Brent V. Woods, Amelia Morris, Jeffrey Germain, Shingo Omura, and Luiz G. Sauerbronn—the fund features a net expense ratio of 0.86% for Class I shares, quarterly dividend distributions, total net assets of $1.9 billion, and a minimum initial investment of $100,000. Brandes Investment Partners, headquartered in San Diego, California and founded in 1974, serves as the investment adviser, applying over 50 years of global market experience and more than 30 years managing dedicated international equity strategies for institutional and private clients worldwide. Recent developments include a December 10, 2025 distribution of long-term capital gains of $0.945031 per share and short-term capital gains of $0.044049 per share, alongside a September 30, 2025 income dividend of $0.083001 per share; a fee waiver reducing total annual operating expenses by 0.03%; portfolio adjustments such as exiting Nissan Motor and adding positions like Wal-Mart de Mexico amid market opportunities; and ongoing oversight by the firm's ESG Steering Committee and Investment Oversight Committee to guide long-term strategy and initiatives.
