Investment Philosophy

  • Fundamental research can identify companies that will grow profits more consistently and faster than their peers and the overall market
  • In-house research provides a competitive advantage as Wall Street firms reduce their commitments to fundamental research
  • Emphasis is on "service-based" companies, which historically have been more predictable and more profitable
  • Increased pressure on senior management to meet earnings forecasts requires detailed analysis of financial statements and accounting practices
  • Favor owner/operator management who are focused on efficient capital management and growth of long term shareholder value
