Small Cap Core Equity
Objective
- Strong risk-adjusted returns over a full market cycle regardless of market environment
Philosophy
- Bottom-up, fundamental stock research
- Disciplined Stock Selection: Seek to identify high-quality stocks that exhibit a specific set of financial characteristics with steady and consistent growth over a multi-year time frame
- Low Turnover: Long-term investment horizon results in a deeper understanding of a company’s business strategy and market positioning, allowing us to capitalize on short-term stock volatility, trade around existing positions, and potentially generate favorable upside/downside capture
- Conviction-Weighted Approach: Conviction weighting such that the top ten names typically represent greater than 20% of the portfolio
