The launch arrives amid growing investor interest in international equities as valuations in U.S. mega-cap technology stocks remain elevated. New York Life Investment Management said the strategy builds on Ausbil’s established global small-cap investing platform, which focuses on identifying companies with underappreciated earnings growth potential and attractive valuations.
Kirk Lehneis, head of U.S. Retail at New York Life Investment Management, said international small- and mid-cap equities may offer compelling long-term opportunities for investors seeking diversification beyond both U.S. stocks and large-cap names.
