Barrow Hanley is a bottom-up value manager, meaning it analyzes the fundamentals of companies one at a time rather than focusing on broader market themes. Barrow Hanley generally considers selling a security when it reaches fair value estimate, when earnings forecasts do not appear to justify the current price, when there has been or there is an expectation of an adverse change in the companys fundamentals, or when other investment opportunities appear more attractive.
