Strategy

Investment Approach

  • Focus on companies within the market cap range of the Russell 2500 Index at time of purchase.
  • Assess valuation using relevant sector/industry metrics — absolute and relative price to earnings, price to cash flow, and price to assets.
  • Integrate fundamental research by a dedicated Small-Cap research team to discover underfollowed companies possessing clear business plans, financial flexibility, and proven management teams.
  • Identification of a “value creation” catalyst is key.
  • Broadly diversify holdings to manage portfolio risk profile.
  • Employ a low turnover and patient trading strategy to promote full value realization.

Portfolio Construction

  • Typically 200-250 securities
  • Position sizes typically range from 0.15% to 2.50%
  • Primary sector weights generally vary from 0.5X to 2.0X the Russell 2500 Index weights

Closed and/or capacity constrained.

Holdings information and other breakdowns (such as country and currency) are related to those of representative portfolio ("Portfolio"). The Portfolio is an account in the composite we believe most closely reflects current portfolio management style for the strategy. Performance is not a consideration in the selection of the representative portfolio. The characteristics of the representative portfolio shown may differ from those of other accounts in the strategy. Please see the GIPS® Disclosure page for additional information on the composite.

The specific securities identified and described above do not represent all of the securities purchased, sold or recommended for advisory clients and no assumptions should be made that investments in the securities identified and discussed were or will be profitable.
