Investment Decision Process
Stonebridge's investment process is fundamental, research-driven and bottom-up. First, the universe of potential investments is filtered to highlight the companies with desirable growth characteristics that meet the team's selection criteria. Sectors' and industries' portfolio weightings are primarily influenced by how many such companies look favorable and also by the team's macroeconomic outlook as well as secular growth themes. The team finalizes the portfolio holdings by conducting in-depth, multi-step fundamental analysis, proprietary cash flow modeling, and applying experiential, tactical judgment.
