GIMs Small Cap Focused Growth strategy is grounded in the belief that superior long term returns are best achieved by focusing on smaller companies that are poised to grow at 15% or more, and using a strict methodology to own the stocks of these sustainable growth companies when risk/reward is attractive. Within this philosophy, GIMs Small Cap Focused Growth strategy seeks to own companies with large open-ended opportunities, a favorable competitive landscape and products or services providing a significant value proposition to the customer. The Small Cap Select strategy takes a diversified approach to growth by seeking companies that can either sustain growth for an extended time, or materially accelerate their growth rate over the near to medium term. The strategy believes that this approach expands the investment opportunity set and mitigates risk.
