Why people hold it

• BKCI Roughly 30 names picked by bottom-up research for sustainable growth, so each holding actually moves the fund instead of vanishing into an index tail.bny.com
• Its universe is MSCI EAFE countries plus Canada, so Canadian companies are in play alongside Europe, Japan and Australasia.sec.gov
• Fee math is tidy: the adviser covers substantially all expenses beyond the management fee, and 0.75% gross runs 0.65% net of a waiver through February 27, 2027.sec.gov

PJIN —No data

Worth knowing

• BKCI That 0.65% sits above the category's typical fee; CGXU (0.54%) and BGIA (0.59%) run cheaper with no waiver holding the number down.
• Concentration cuts both ways: with around 30 stocks, a single stumble lands harder, and country or sector tilts can get lopsided.sec.gov
• A smaller, lightly traded fund, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than at the category's giants.
