- AMG GW&K International Small Cap Fund - Class I (MECIX) is an open-end investment company that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities issued by small-capitalization companies located outside the United States, across developed and emerging markets; the fund targets small-cap stocks with improving fundamentals and reasonable valuations, benchmarked against the MSCI World ex USA Small Cap Index, with an additional broad market benchmark of the MSCI World ex USA Index added effective May 31, 2024, in line with regulatory disclosure requirements. It maintains a blend investment style, with approximately 97.57% allocated to non-US stocks, 1.47% to cash, and minimal US stock exposure, emphasizing sectors such as consumer cyclical (26.60%), industrials (21.56%), and technology (15.84%), with primary geographic focus on Japan (35.87%), the Eurozone (16.59%), and the United Kingdom (13.36%). The fund offers Class I shares with a net expense ratio of 0.99%, no front-end or deferred loads, a minimum initial investment of $100,000, and daily pricing, managed since October 8, 2020, by Daniel Miller, Reid Galas, and Karl Kyriss of GW&K Investment Management, LLC. Launched on June 25, 1993, and domiciled in the United States, the fund is available for sale in the US and forms part of AMG Funds III, with total net assets of approximately $40.28 million and Class I share class size of $35.05 million as of the latest reporting. GW&K Investment Management, the fund's adviser, was founded in 1974 and is headquartered at 222 Berkeley Street in Boston, Massachusetts; it operates as an affiliate of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (AMG), following AMG's acquisition of GW&K from The Bank of New York Mellon in 2008, and manages $52.9 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2024, across active equity and fixed-income strategies for institutional and individual clients. Recent developments include the appointment of Leigh Williamson and Gayle Hodus as firm partners on March 25, 2025, to bolster leadership in client portfolio management and human resources, respectively, supporting GW&K's domestic equity strategies and diversity initiatives. In 2025 Q1, GW&K adjusted its broader portfolio holdings, adding positions in companies such as Moog, Inc., Levi Strauss & Co., and BridgeBio Pharma, Inc., while managing an AUM of $10.8 billion across 1,042 holdings amid market volatility. The fund continues to emphasize quality growth companies in inefficient international small-cap markets, with no major acquisitions, funding rounds, or strategic shifts reported for the fund itself in the last 1-2 years.
