GMO for U Can I invest with GMO if I do not meet the $5 million investment minimum? Though GMO does not offer mutual funds directly to investors with less than $5 million, we do sub advise several funds through various mutual fund companies that offer much lower minimums (typically $2,000-$3,000), as follows. With Vanguard (www.vanguard.com) US Value (large cap domestic equity) and The Explorer Fund (small cap growth). With Evergreen (evergreeninvestments.com) Evergreen Asset Allocation Fund (global balanced fund) and Evergreen Large Cap Value (formerly the GMO Pelican Fund - large cap US equity). With Calvert (www.calvert.com) Calvert World Values International Equity Fund (international large cap equity). All of these funds are managed by the same portfolio managers who run our institutional strategies. Please visit these websites for further information. gmo.com
