Philosophy
- We believe that undervalued stocks offer superior appreciation potential with reduced volatility
- Focused on relative value: identifying stocks which are undervalued versus their peers
- Aim to add value primarily through positive stock selection across economic sectors
- Our long-term perspective values companies with multi-year catalysts and produces low portfolio turnover
Process
- Disciplined "Relative Value" Approach Combines the Benefits of both Quantitative and Fundamental Research
- Quantitative Analysis: reduces the small cap universe to a select group of undervalued stocks with favorable earnings and price momentum characteristics
- Qualitative Analysis: identify those undervalued stocks which possess a fundamental catalyst to drive earnings and valuation

- Several notable companies have elected to inaugurate a quarterly dividend this year, while 47 companies in the U.S. stopped paying dividends during the COVID-19 crisis and have yet to reinstitute one. Why? - We would suggest it comes down to the ability to pay an ever-increasing dividend alongside their confidence in their business’s future. - In the current period of fewer dividend initiations, slower dividend growth in the market, and household names cutting their dividends, we believe there are several lessons to learn.
