Investment Approach
We believe that earnings growth and reasonable valuations are the main catalysts which drive stock prices. We buy stocks of companies that —
- Possess prospects for consistent, above-average revenue and earnings growth, improving profit trends, and positive investor sentiment coupled with solid operating momentum.
- Have quality management, low debt ratios and strong fundamentals
Sell Discipline
We consider selling one of our holdings when —
- The stock's rising price reaches our valuation target
- We see an unfavorable change in the company's fundamentals, particularly within growth prospects
- There is a deterioration in a company's management or financial reporting
- We discover a better investment opportunity
