Seeks long-term capital appreciation.
The fund seeks to identify companies that have the prospect for improving sales and earnings growth rates, enjoy a competitive advantage (for example, dominant market share) and that the fund believes have effective management with a history of making investments that are in the best interests of shareholders (for example, companies with a history of earnings and sales growth that are in excess of total asset growth). The fund pays particular attention to balance sheet metrics such as changes in working capital, property, plant and equipment growth, inventory levels, accounts receivable, and acquisitions. The fund also looks at how management teams allocate capital in order to drive future cash flow. Price objectives are determined based on industry specific valuation methodologies including relative price-to-earnings multiples, price-to-book value, operating profit margin trends, enterprise value to EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) and free cash flow yield. In addition to meeting with management, the fund takes a surround the company approach by surveying a company's vendors, distributors, competitors and customers to obtain multiple perspectives that help us make better investment decisions. Portfolio holdings are continuously monitored for changes in fundamentals. The team seeks a favorable risk/reward relationship to fair valuation, which the fund defines as the value of the company (i.e. the funds price target for the stock) relative to where the stock is currently trading.
