Investment Strategy
The Adviser employs a fundamental, consistent approach to investing, with a research-intensive focus on business and industry fundamentals to uncover compelling investment opportunities. The Adviser has a long-term investment time horizon and seeks to make investments that the Funds can hold for a multi-year period. Financial analysis drives the Adviser’s investment process at all times and investments must be justified quantitatively.
The Adviser’s investment strategies includes small, mid and large-capitalization companies and U.S.- based and European-based companies. The Adviser at times will invest in private securities. Through research and analysis, the Adviser seeks to determine the intrinsic value or true economic worth of an entire company and selects for investment those securities it believes are selling for significantly less than their intrinsic value or those that may grow intrinsic value at above-average rates. The Adviser may take short positions in the Funds’ portfolio, from time to time, and may, at times, also use leverage.
