This model will invest in foreign companies listed on US exchanges.
Focuses on macro trends and drills down to the best stocks and values within those trends. Typically invest in stocks trading below long term growth prospects and opportunistic situations where companies trade below intrinsic value. In order to know the business and financials of a company, it requires intense studying of quarterly reports, listening to conference calls, reading research reports, and reading up on competitors all while keeping an eye on economic trends.
Typically holds 20-25 positions to provide diversification from any one holding. The goal is to keep holdings down in order to focus on the top investment picks. Most mutual funds over diversify into less then ideal picks.
Positions are sold when stocks meet initial targets, become too large an allocation, the fundamentals warrant a change, or changes in the market present opportunities to lock in gains. The whole goal is to limit transactions and hence capital gains. Also implore technical analysis to determine when the market might be signaling a change in a stock’s prospects that the fundamentals might not yet reflect. Such reversals will be utilized to reduce exposure to risky selections.
