Fundamental analysis is also employed in the final stage of the selection process. Equity selection generally follows a GARP (growth at a reasonable price) approach., Specifically, our approach attempts to identify companies with durable, consistent, and potentially accelerating earnings growth, while applying valuation discipline in order to ensure that companies held trade at discounts their peers, the market, or our estimate of intrinsic value.
