Oberweis In The News

  President's Letter
October 2011

Dear Fellow Shareholder of The Oberweis Funds:

Amid fears of a financial crisis in Europe, a slowing global economy, and continued political gridlock in Washington, equities around the world posted significant losses for the quarter. U.S. small-cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Growth Index, declined 22.25% in the third quarter. International small-cap growth stocks, as measured by the MSCI World Ex-US Small-Cap Growth Index, returned -18.16%. Smaller Chinese growth stocks, as measured by MSCI China Small-Cap Growth Index, returned -32.57%.

The Oberweis Funds focus on companies with particularly high rates of revenue and earnings growth. After strong returns for such stocks during 2009-2010, high-growth companies were particularly punished in the third quarter. The Micro-Cap Fund returned -25.47%, Emerging Growth -28.09%, Small-Cap Opportunities -20.11%, China Opportunities -33.81%, International Opportunities -23.71%, and Asia Opportunities -19.60%. Obviously, we are not happy about this quarter’s returns.

As much as anything, investors are weathering a crisis in leadership, both domestically and abroad. In the U.S., it is painfully clear among Republicans and Democrats that motivation to hurt the other political party ahead of the 2012 election has eclipsed the desire to do what is best for America’s future. The lack of cooperation contributed to S&P’s decision to strip the U.S. of its coveted AAA credit rating in August. Still, Congress remains unwilling to transcend philosophical differences and agree on the necessary policies required to stimulate job creation and promote economic growth.
