I agree you with that it should be held in a non-taxable account.
However, I do own VEIPX, but mine is in a taxable account unfortunately.
Also, you didn't mention what are your financial intentions?
There is an Institutional Share (JUCBX) and Service Share (no symbol) in the Aspen Series.
From this filing, https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/906185/000119312518039980/d533015d485apos.htm ,
the answer to your question would be "yes".

@Graust,
Brokerages may be a little slower to react than the transfer agent. I have my OBIOX with the transfer agent. Sometime next week, the brokerages may get around to updating their fund information. They are usually not as up to date as MFO…

Thank you for your effort. I spoke with a particular individual at Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC, Steven Milcinovic, who emailed me both the regular and non-taxable applications.
I did note that STATX did not come in Edgar symbol searc…
@msf,
There is VINEX also as an option.
Regarding BCSVX, maybe the fund was quite new to the scene so you wanted to see how the fund performed since it commenced during 2016?
Some years ago, DRIOX and FKSCX (both of which were closed due to incoming monies) were performing well while PRIDX was somewhat as well as the DRIOX and FKSCX. Over the last couple of years or so (until early 2018 when the international market star…
@msf,
Owning DRIOX, PRIDX and GPIIX has allowed me to feel comfortable in the ISC sector as each have performed well at different times with different fund ideologies and different managers. For me, the benefits of owning one will compliment the d…
My international small cap funds holdings are DRIOX, GPIIX and PRIDX (all of which are closed to new investors) in taxable and non-taxable accounts. I still maintain a small position of OSMYX in a Roth account.
@msf,
Too bad FKSCX is closed to n…

@expatsp,
I've held the fund since late 2002 prior to its closure. Recent SEC filing indicated large distributions on the horizon. The fund had about 1B AUM at its peak, now down to $400M or so. Seeing both manager resigning from the fund with a…
