SMALL CAP EQUITY- CORE

This style is managed to achieve growth through investment in small market capitalization stocks. Fundamental security analysis is used to uncover companies selling at a discount to their intrinsic worth. The managers also quantitatively screen the equities to concentrate on profitable companies with low levels of debt relative to their assets. Special attention is also paid to the business models of the underlying holdings to ensure that barriers to entry are sufficient to provide a sustainable stream of cash flow. Management’s focus is on bottoms-up characteristics rather than top-down considerations.
