Small-Cap Core

Core Approach:

We believe that by utilizing a fundamental, bottom-up investment approach, we can build portfolios where each company's upside return potential is at least twice that of its downside risk.

Our portfolio generally contains 35 - 45 investments. We typically weight individual securities equally at the time of their inclusion into the portfolio with position sizes averaging 3%. In no instance will an individual security comprise more that 4.5% of the portfolio at market.

Capitalization Range: $200 million - $2 billion

Buy Discipline:

  • Valuation – low end of historical range
  • Catalyst – action or event has been identified
  • Management – confidence in ability to execute

Portfolio Turnover: 75% - 100% per year
