Reply to @TSP_Transfer: Especially since it's a hard close.

The lead manager is responsible for 13 other funds and about $16 billion in AUM, mostly in European and international small cap stocks. Mostly very solid funds. International Small Companies is about 40% European, which would be the next-closest option for those wanting his expertise but unable to get into the closed fund.
