Years dedicated to small-cap
Small cap is our primary business. As pioneers in the asset class since 1972, we have the experience and expertise to uncover opportunities in this large and heterogeneous market — before they are widely recognized.
After an historic run for the largest companies, we believe the case for the small-cap asset class is the most compelling it has been in decades.

Thousands of companies, thin analyst coverage, wide dispersion — the conditions in which disciplined, bottom-up research is rewarded.
U.S., international, and global strategies — each with a distinct approach and a different risk profile — built on the same foundation of disciplined, bottom-up research.
QualityPremier small-caps with discernible competitive advantages, high returns on invested capital, and sustainable, moat-like franchises.
ValueCapital-returning stocks with solid fundamentals — quality businesses bought at sensible prices, held with conviction.
OpportunisticTurnarounds, unrecognized asset values, undervalued growth, and interrupted earnings — where original research is rewarded.

Low turnover and a long horizon let our best ideas compound. We measure results the way our clients do — across full market cycles.
