We consider minimum distance estimators where the discrepancy function is defined in terms of a supremum-norm based on a Donsker-class of functions. If the parameter set is contained in a normed linear space we prove a Portmanteau-type theorem. Here, the limit in general is not a probability measure, but an outer measure given by the hitting family of the set of all minimizing points of a certain stochastic process. In case there is exactly one minimizer one obtains traditional weak convergence.
