Small/Mid Cap Growth Strategy
Overview
Benchmark: Russell 2500® Growth Index
Inception Date: 9/30/15
We are a traditional growth manager, providing a portfolio that has true exposure to small- and mid-cap companies. Our primary investment goal is to provide consistent, superior-to-market returns at a risk posture less than that of the Russell 2500 Growth benchmark. We believe our sound, long standing philosophy executed over different market environments by the founding portfolio manager is a powerful combination. All team resources and effort are dedicated to our high quality growth investment style and we stay true to our investment principals regardless of the environment.
Portfolio Construction
- A concentrated portfolio of generally 60-70 stocks
- The average position is 1%-3%, not to exceed 5%
- Sector weights 75%-125% relative to the benchmark
