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.
