Investment Approach

  • We employ a quantitative approach to stock selection and portfolio construction
  • Portfolio will generally invest 130% of invested capital 'long' and 30% 'short'
  • Expected returns are forecasted for all stocks in the large cap universe using a proprietary statistical model
  • Predictive factors within the statistical model are derived from four factor groups: Valuation, Earnings Quality, Capital Discipline and Sentiment
  • Optimization techniques are used to reconcile the potential returns and risk of each stock to construct a highly diversified portfolio
  • Stocks with high expected returns are candidates for 'long' positions
  • Stocks with low expected returns are candidates for 'short' positions

 

Sell & Short Cover Disipline

  • Long positions are naturally sold from the portfolio as the return forecast deteriorates
  • Short positions are covered as the return forecast improves
  • Periodic rebalancing utilizing new information
