Investment Strategy
The investment strategy employed by the company is deep-value management, which involves investing in stocks of out-of-favor companies that are selling at discounts to tangible book value. The company looks for companies in the bottom decile of price-to-tangible book value ratios and a positive outlook for earnings potential over the next 2-4 years. The company also considers analysis of corporate management and governance as a valuable input in their research process.
To control risk, the company buys stocks at deep discounts to book value and asset value. They do not invest in any derivative securities and invest only in securities listed on national exchanges, including domestic equities, ADRs of foreign companies, and dually-listed companies. Individual position size limits depend upon client constraints, but typically, they limit any one holding to about 5% of the portfolio at the time of purchase and the maximum industry exposure to about 20%. They usually do not buy more than 10% of the outstanding stock of a company.
