Investment Approach

We buy companies with market capitalizations below $3 billion. Within this small-cap universe, we buy the stocks of companies —

  • That are demonstrating strong earnings and revenue growth within their industries
  • That offer attractive return potential, based on fundamentals — including return on assets, price-to-earnings, and earnings per share growth

 

Sell Discipline

We will consider selling one of our holdings when —

  • Its market capitalization rises above $3 billion, and we believe it is less attractive than other small-cap investments that become available
  • Its price exceeds our target price-to-earnings ratio
  • Our anticipated growth for the company does not develop as expected
