Strategy Objective
We use an active, fundamental, bottom-up security selection process when researching stocks for our small and mid-cap growth portfolio. Utilizing Timpani's research-intensive approach, the investment team expects to add value primarily through security selection (approximately 90%) with the remainder coming from sector allocation.
Key Differentiators
- One cohesive and consistent investment team since inception
- Time-tested process that works in most investing environments
- Objective, disciplined approach minimizes biases and results in efficient decision-making
- Value-added sell discipline seeks to provide downside protection
