Analyze the Business:
Determine the sustainability of the business, drivers of earnings, barriers to entry, and competitive advantages.
Understand the Cash Flow Structure:
Focus on companies generating cash earnings and assess the quality and character of those earnings to determine the net cash flow from the business.
Relate Cash Flow to Enterprise Value:
Examine the relevant claims against that net cash flow and determine their necessity to maintain and grow the business. Evaluate how management will use this "free cash flow"; value the cash flow stream and compare it to the enterprise value to determine the attractiveness of the investment.
Management Quality:
Identify management with a reputation and demonstrated ability to create shareholder value.
Seek Unrecognized Assets:
Identify, where possible, hidden, undervalued or underutilized assets, especially in small and mid cap companies where many companies are under-researched.
Our services differ from one another largely because of differences within the universe of securities eligible for purchase and the portfolio construction techniques appropriate for the creation of rich profiles sought by the client.
