Investment Philosophy

The team seeks to invest in small and midcap companies that have become disconnected from their normalized valuations and have an identifiable catalyst for improvement. The smid cap strategy’s broad opportunity set promotes the potential for an attractive risk/return tradeoff and positions the team to capture the evolution of quality businesses as they grow.

  • Transitional Company Focus

    The seasoned management team has deep experience identifying value in companies’ life cycles through all markets.

  • Catalyst-Driven Value

    The U.S. Smid Cap Opportunity Fund employs in-house fundamental research in an effort to identify temporarily mispriced companies with potential catalysts for earnings-growth normalization.

  • Volatility Leads to Potential Opportunity

    The smid cap market may create attractive opportunities within security-level volatility due to short-and long-term dislocations in the market for disciplined active investors. It seeks to provide an enhanced risk/return trade-off by combining investment opportunities from both the small and midcap market segments.

Our Process

The team uses a bottom-up process, building the portfolio stock by stock.

  • 01

    Narrow the Universe

    The team narrows the approximately 4,000 US small and midcap stock universe using their historical investment experience, by attending management meetings, conference calls, investment conferences, and by following industry trade journals.

    Conduct Fundamental Research

    The team aims to identify companies that have low multiples and a potential catalyst for improvement.

    Low Multiples
    • The team seeks to uncover companies that they believe are trading at a significantly discounted price/book or price/sales.
    • Holdings typically fall into at least one category below:
      • Turnarounds
      • Inefficiently valued assets
      • Accelerating growth
      • Overlooked leaders

    Catalyst for Improvement
    • Utilizing the team’s analysis and deep institutional knowledge of competitors, industry and existing holdings used for comparisons, they seek to determine the likelihood of execution success.
    • Some potential catalysts the team look for that could lead to a company’s return to normalized earnings are:
      • New management
      • More favorable business cycle
      • Product innovation
      • Margin improvement

  • 03

    Construct Portfolio

    • Selective approach with approximately 70-100 positions
    • Typical holding has a market cap of $4-$7B
    • Annual turnover expected 15%–25%

Competitive Advantage

  • Seasoned team, experienced in identifying value in companies' life cycles through all markets
