Essential Value Equity Team
The team seeks long-term outperformance of the Russell 2000 Value Index by applying a rigorous, bottom-up, fundamentals-driven approach to evaluating small public companies in search of stock prices that do not accurately reflect intrinsic value.
The three essential core alpha drivers are value, quality partner, and contrarian.
Competitive advantages
Collaboration, not consensus
This stable, seasoned team encourages skepticism and limits group think and input from Wall Street to build a differentiated, alpha-driving portfolio.
Unique approach to stock selection
This team is bottom-up, fundamentals-driven, and true small-cap-value focused. At purchase, companies belong to one or more of four categories: N-O-T-E.
Robust risk control implementation
Risk management is viewed as not just a sequential step, but a vital, all-encompassing aspect of the investment process.
