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
