Our investment processes and methodologies have been honed and proven over many market cycles. While based in fundamental research, we believe that our relentless vetting of companies of interest provides an edge in the small cap market. The industry networks that each team member has developed over years of investing are integral to the process – from idea generation to the validation of the value proposition that each company provides its own customers.

Lifecycle Diversification: Why We're Different
Every company is classified by LifeCycle: Pioneer, Core Growth, or Special Situation. The LifeCycle categories have distinct performance drivers and attract different types of investors, providing an important diversification in the portfolio. LifeCycles expand the opportunity set, though all companies considered have a powerful growth case and are either market leaders or are taking market share.
