We believe that change creates opportunity.

Dynamic change often creates a disconnect between a company’s future earnings power and its current stock price. Growth catalysts are often misunderstood as investors tend to be anchored in their expectations raising them gradually to reflect new information, and thereby creating mispricing opportunities.

We seek to exploit this inefficiency by investing in dynamic companies with accelerating revenue and/or earnings growth in which our research indicates the company’s growth is sustainable and the company’s stock is a timely investment.

We specialize in small- and mid-cap companies, which we believe to be some of the most inefficient and rewarding segments of the global markets. The disconnect between current valuations and future growth is often exacerbated by less research coverage, limited liquidity, short financial history, or no credit rating.

Importantly, we believe selling is as important as buying. We strive to be disciplined in selling positions when the investment opportunity has been fully realized and before the acceleration of growth slows, typically over the next 12 to 24 months.

Our portfolios are comprised of securities that meet the following three criteria:

Change: Sources of positive change may include new products and services, competitive advantage, industry dynamics, regulatory change, a new business model or management change

Sustainability: Accelerating growth must also be sustainable and supported by the company’s long-term revenue and earnings potential, financial strength and quality of management

Timeliness: A great company that also makes for a great investment should be supported by positive relative price strength of the stock and industry, liquidity, institutional sponsorship, and other market sentiment factors.

Companies meeting our investment philosophy are generally distinguished by revenue and/or earnings acceleration, upward earnings revisions, a well-executed business plan, favorable competitive positioning, increasing market share and a skilled management team.

Mutual fund investing involves risk including possible loss of principal. In addition to the normal risks associate with investing, investments in smaller companies typically exhibit higher volatility. International investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from social, economic or political instability in other nations. REIT investments are subject to changes in economic conditions, credit risk and interest rate fluctuations.

There is no assurance the fund's investment objective will be achieved or maintained.
