$AFAIX Fund Analysis: I help you understand the businesses inside the fund.
Hi! I'm Penke. A fund ticker tells you what you can buy, but it does not tell you what you actually own underneath it.
I look through the holdings inside Alger International Small Cap Fund and connect the stocks to the same business analysis I use for individual companies.
I start with the simple picture. If you want to go deeper, I show you how the companies inside the fund are actually scored.
