Companies are screened for strong and sustainable returns on invested capital, consistent free cash flow generation, balance sheet strength, and shareholder value creation. The resulting portfolio is monitored for valuation opportunities, with the final portfolio typically holding between 20 – 30 securities.

Small Cap Core

Dearborn Partners’ MVP Small Cap Core strategy (sub-advised by Ziegler Capital Management, LLC) uses a fundamental, bottom-up approach designed to identify underpriced securities with a strong potential for long-term appreciation. The investment process begins with a deep fundamental analysis of the universe by sector specialists, followed by the application of proprietary cash flow-based Price Discovery and Relative Value models. The portfolio is then constructed using the most attractive stocks by sector with a focus on risk control.
