Consistently Uncovering Value

Outperformance is achieved by investing in companies that meet stringent valuation criteria and provide improving operating fundamentals.

Uncovering value on a stock-by-stock basis

The investment team employs a proprietary valuation process to identify the least expensive stocks in each sector which results in a candidate pool of 140 names. To discern true value from the merely cheap, the team conducts extensive fundamental research in search of one of our five Value Buy Criteria:

— Resolvable short-term problem
— Catalyst for change
— Unrecognized assets
— Fundamental undervaluation
— Takeover potential

The presence of our Value Buy Criteria increases the likelihood that an inexpensive stock will return to a state of fair value and outperform its peers.

Portfolios are fully invested in 60 to 90 holdings with no position exceeding 5% in weight.  The portfolio is always diversified across all sectors.
