The Wasatch International Growth Fund was established in June 2002 and has been managed by Roger Edgley since 2006. Roger believes that thinking like a “cultural insider” — being aware of social, political, economic and other factors surrounding a company — is the most efficient way to invest. The fund’s research team believes that investing in small or micro cap funds is more volatile and that the loss of principal could be greater than investing in larger capped or more diversified funds. In 2012 the Wasatch International Growth Fund had an excess gain of 17.7% over the S&P500.

During second quarter 2013, Edgley and his team added nine new stocks to their portfolio, setting their total number of stocks owned to 73 valued at $1.05 billion.
