Investment process

The process begins with a top-down economic analysis to narrow down sectors and industries to the most interesting opportunities. Next we scan for undervalued companies, emphasizing the small-capitalization space. The initial, brief scan points us to the most attractive stocks for additional analysis. Since we assume these companies should be benefiting from the aforementioned economic trends, each individual stock is then analyzed for its potential to excel in periods of high growth. Significant global macro trends for the 21st century include energy, infrastructure, agriculture, and scarce commodities.
