Individual securities are selected via a disciplined bottom-up process based on deep fundamental analysis and valuation considerations. Catalysts are identified to track each company’s improving prospects, along with their individual risk/reward profile to assess upside and downside potential.
Diversification and balance versus the Russell 2500 are taken into account, though there are no “must own” stocks, industries, or sectors.
The firm’s six to 18-month outlook on economic trends, regional forecasts, and other macroeconomic signals informs overall portfolio strategy and sector weightings.
