Overview - Paradigm Opportunity Fund
|
Objective:
The Paradigm Opportunity Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Investment Philosophy:
The Opportunity Fund invests primarily in the common stocks of companies with market capitalizations between $25 million and $2.5 billion at the time of purchase that the Advisor believes have the potential for capital appreciation. The Fund may be overweight in certain sectors at various times. Securities are sold when they have realized their anticipated value or if new investment opportunities with higher expected returns are acquired. The Advisor primarily searches for companies with market capitalizations between $25 million and $2.5 billion that exhibit attractive valuations and solid growth prospects. The valuation metrics include price to earnings, price to cash flow, price to book and price to revenue.
Investment Process:
The Advisor identifies potential investments using a proprietary valuation model to pinpoint companies that are trading at a discount to peers and/or historical valuations. Once a potential investment meets these valuation criteria, the Advisor studies public filings and trade journals, and will generally interview company management. The Advisor continues research by contacting vendors, competitors and/or customers to determine why the stock is trading at a discount and to identify catalysts that the Advisor believes will result in capital appreciation. The Advisor frequently contacts company management and also uses these communications to determine whether, in the Advisor's opinion, management's goals are aligned with those of shareholders. Final investment decisions are based on the Advisor's confidence in management's ability to execute its strategy and the attractiveness of the stock's price based on internally prepared models and valuation metrics. The Advisor will generally sell a Fund position if the company no longer meets these criteria..
