Thematic Growth

Mott Capital Management, LLC
Generational and demographic shifts4 to 5 themes

Mott Capital Management uses a long-term thematic growth approach to investing in equities. We search for investments that both reflect and help to shape generational and demographic shifts. Mott uses a philosophy of buying these companies for a 3- to 5-year time horizon, with the belief that a long-term holding period gives themes and our chosen companies a chance to fully develop. In our view, the long time horizon also serves to mitigate the risk associated with the short-term impact of market volatility.

Portfolio information

Research

Mott Capital uses top down analysis. We come up with a theme we would like to focus on and drill down to companies from there. We look at variety of things, from fundamentals, to technical. Most importantly, however, the company needs to have a good growth story. We NEVER use models of any kinds. They are useless in our opinion.

Approach

Typically, the portfolio is constructed with a focus on 4 to 5 themes. Examples of themes vary and can range from the needs of aging populations to the shifting media landscape. With a 3 to 5 year investment outlook, we have the opportunity to develop a deep analytical understanding of each portfolio holding, and in some case build a personal relationship with the company. We do not use leverage, short positions or options: we strictly hold long positions in equities. In addition to using time to mitigate risk, we lever or de-lever the portfolio by increasing or decreasing the number of shares of each portfolio company to maintain consistency with our target range.

Sell discipline

We sell when the story of our investment has changed or determine that growth in a specific theme or company has matured.

This portfolio was launched on Interactive Advisors on July 16, 2015, when clients were able to start investing in it. All performance information on this page is actual performance of the Portfolio Manager’s account and presented “net of fees”.

All Portfolio Manager information including personal data, profiles, and strategies has been provided by the Portfolio Manager.

All performance information on this page is based on the performance of the Portfolio Manager’s account, using the manager’s own funds. Performance of the Portfolio Manager's account is calculated by Interactive Advisors on a daily time-weighted basis, including cash, dividends and earnings distributions and reflects the deduction of broker commissions (when commissions were charged). Manager returns include trades and positions that fail Interactive Advisors' trading rules, as a result, actual client returns will differ. Interactive Advisors’ advisory fees are simulated and applied retroactively to present the portfolio return “net-of-fees”.
