Identifying Investment Trends in a Fast-Changing World

Things can change quickly in today's global market landscape. While secular trends like aging demographics in developed nations and the emergence of new industrial and consumer markets continue to play out, they do so against a backdrop of often unpredictable events with international and geopolitical implications.

In the video below, Chautauqua Capital Management's Managing Partner, Brian Beitner, explains how his team analyzes these events in terms of existing market dynamics and their potential impact on the global investment environment. 

Acquired by Baird in January 2016, Chautauqua Capital Management has built a decade-long track record of risk-adjusted returns since inception of its International Growth and Global Growth equity strategies. In May of 2016, the team launched the Chautauqua Global Growth Fund and Chautauqua International Growth Fund at Baird.

All investments carry some level of risk including loss of principal. The fund invests in the stocks of international companies. These companies often are more volatile and can represent more risks than U.S.-based companies. The Fund may have a relatively high percentage of assets in a particular country, region or sector of international markets – as well as in a small number of issuers. As a result, a decline in the value of an investment in a single region, sector or issuer could cause the Fund's overall value to decline to a greater degree than if the Fund held a more diverse portfolio. Securities of foreign issuers and ADRs are subject to certain inherent risks, such as political or economic instability, difficulty predicting international trade patterns, currency exchange rates, lack of uniform accounting and financial reporting standards and the possibility of imposition of exchange controls. These risks are more pronounced in emerging market countries. Mid-cap stocks perform differently from large-cap stocks, as mid-cap stocks may be less liquid and more volatile than large-cap stocks.
