TedTed
in Fund Discussions
FYI: Foreign small caps can be better diversifiers because they have closer ties to their local economies.

    I have owned OSMAX for over four years and more than once it has been my strongest performer of the year. This category can be very volatile, but i consider this category a nice diversifier in portfolio.

    I purchased OSMYX in my retirement account at what was WellsTrade for a fairly low minimum.

    Also own ARTJX, which just received some significant capital gains in a taxable account.

    ISMRX has not disappointed and is a good comparison to OSMAX. FOrmer was profiled by D. Snowball in 2016.
