PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Smead Capital Management, a Phoenix-based registered investment advisor, announces the Smead International Value Fund (the “Fund”) has surpassed $100 million in assets under management. This milestone comes less than two years after the initial launch of the Fund in January 2022.

“Our investors joined with us as partners to utilize our investment discipline abroad over the last eight years. We feel blessed to have a track record of success at a time that so much capital believes they will only find attractive returns in the US stock market alone,” said Cole Smead, Chief Executive Officer and Lead Portfolio Manager. "Stock market failure has been rampant among foreign equity exchanges creating psychology that provides an ideal temperature to execute our investment authority.”

The portfolio of the Smead International Value Fund consists of holdings which are primarily concentrated in Europe and Canada. The Fund holds a variety of sectors, including but not limited to commodity-oriented companies, financials, and discretionary businesses.

“Our combined stock picking experience, which is more than 40 years, has allowed us to generate substantial returns for investors throughout our firm’s history,” said Bill Smead, Chief Investment Officer. “We continue to look forward to being invested side-by-side with the strongest owner-operators outside the U.S.”
