Summary
The fund seeks to be a long term investor in small-cap companies with attractive growth profiles.
The investment process looks for companies that have been out of favor with investors but have strong franchise in the industry or are experiencing temporary problems with operations or undergoing strategic shift. The fund favors high-quality companies with stocks that have lower than average volatility.
The long term outlook helps the manager in riding out volatility in the small cap market segment.
