Strategy Highlights
- Active management with a long-term, private equity approach to investing
- High active share: typically greater than 80%*
- Low turnover (typically 0 – 25% annualized)
- Seven-step research framework focuses on quality, growth and valuation
- High-conviction portfolio of typically 30 to 40 stocks
- Looks to identify high-quality companies–those with difficult-to-replicate business models
- Team must view growth as sustainable and profitable
- Stock values are modeled and regularly updated based on our four valuation scenarios: Best, Base, Bear and Worst
- Seeks to create a margin of safety by investing only when company is selling meaningfully below the team’s estimate of intrinsic value
- Active risk management defines risk as a permanent loss of capital, not tracking error or short-term relative underperformance
- Bottom-up stock selection drives excess returns
