Small/Mid Cap Strategy

Why choose this strategy?

  • As an actively managed Small/Mid Cap allocation
  • To focus on small company stocks of attractively valued companies with prospects for sustainable growth and profitabiity
  • As a complement to a more diversified index product

 

Investment strategy

  • The investment universe includes all stocks generally within the market cap range of the benchmark at initial purchase
  • We believe that known and recurring inefficiencies are available in the small cap market causing stock prices to deviate from their intrinsic value
  • These inefficiencies can be categorized into three areas: misunderstood franchises, underfollowed and special situations
  • A repeatable investment process can uncover higher quality businesses that are trading at a discount to intrinsic value utilizing rigorous fundamental research
  • Disciplined bottom-up portfolio construction within a risk aware framework
  • Sector guidelines: typical range is +/- 50% for benchmark sectors over 10%
  • Individual security exposure: typical positions range from 0.5 to 2.5%, with no one stock typically greater than 3% of the portfolio
  • 75 to 100 stocks typically; turnover: 25% to 50% annually
