VALUE

Philosophy

Our firm is credited by the academic community with establishing the Private Market Value with a Catalyst™ investment philosophy and applying this to the analysis of public equity securities. Our investment approach utilizes fundamental, bottom-up research to identify securities selling below their intrinsic value, and we seek to identify mispriced companies with strong businesses and the presence of a catalyst that will surface value.

Investment Research

The Equity research team includes approximately 40 sector-focused analysts that support value equity portfolio management, and also provide sector insights to all investment disciplines. The collaborative sector teams benefit from a shared investment philosophy: PMV with a Catalyst™.

Methodology

We seek to identify mispriced companies with strong businesses and the presence of a catalyst that can surface value. Investment teams utilize a broad universe in a benchmark-agnostic approach to cover all sectors of the market and identify evolving themes and value-based opportunities. Our fundamental, bottom-up investment process benefits from the compounded, accumulated knowledge of certain industries over many decades.
