- William Blair International Leaders Fund Class N Shares (WILNX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities, including common stocks and other equity investments issued by foreign companies with above-average returns on equity, strong balance sheets, consistent above-average earnings growth, sustainable value creation, high return on capital, peer group leadership, positive earnings trends, and low leverage; the fund maintains a high-conviction portfolio of 40 to 70 stocks diversified across market capitalization, region, industry, and corporate lifecycle, with a focus on non-U.S. large-cap growth companies in the Morningstar Foreign Large Growth category. Core holdings as of recent data include Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd, SK Hynix Inc, Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd, Tencent Holdings Ltd, and Fujikura Ltd, representing approximately 20.59% of the portfolio; sector allocations emphasize technology (22.84%), industrials (20.72%), and financial services (18.10%), while geographic exposure spans developed Asia (23.54%), Eurozone (23.06%), emerging Asia (10.90%), Japan (10.43%), and the United Kingdom (6.87%), with total net assets of $1.13 billion and a net expense ratio of 1.15%. The fund, domiciled in the United States and available for sale there with a minimum initial investment of $2,500, was incepted on August 16, 2012, and is managed by William Blair Investment Management, LLC (Chicago headquarters), with portfolio managers Kenneth McAtamney (since inception), Simon Fennell (since 2013), and Alaina Anderson (since 2021). Recent portfolio adjustments as of September 2025 include increased exposure to information technology via new purchases of Hon Hai Precision and Samsung Electronics, trims to software holdings like Constellation Software and SAP amid earnings concerns, and an overweight to consumer discretionary with positions in Dollarama and MercadoLibre despite short-term pressures; the strategy reported a trailing 1-year turnover of 100.7% and continues to waive fees to limit operating expenses until April 30, 2026.
