Equity Investment Process

Diligent investing is a team process. At Hart Capital Management we generally take long positions in undervalued companies that exhibit intermediate and long-term appreciation potential. This strategy allows us to navigate quarterly earnings volatility while remaining focused on companies with disproportional upside potential.

Each investment decision begins with a bottoms-up quantitative analysis of the company’s fundamentals relative to the entire market that includes but is not limited to:

• Complete assessment of historical valuation models and financial statements
• Consideration of geopolitical risk, industry trends and market sentiments
• Company merger and acquisition activity and management stewardship
• Insider and institutional ownership along with transaction history
• Environmental, social, and governance trends are reviewed, as well as sell-side reports

Utilizing the above information and data points, analysts build proprietary models and present company research to the investment committee.

From initiation to recommendation, the team consolidates a broad array of quantitative and qualitative information into a straightforward decision. We take a similar comprehensive approach to all sell decisions.

Fixed Income Investment Process

Selecting fixed income investments isn’t as straight forward as simply deciding on income yield that we want our clients to earn on their portfolios and walking away. It requires constant monitoring of credit cycles, macro-economic trends, Federal Reserve policy, domestic and foreign sovereign market movements, tax-rate policy and increasingly geo-political activities. Each of these variables can cause a shift in returns and impact the risk of the portfolio.

At Hart Capital Management, we use the following methodology to craft our fixed income portfolio:

• Target a fixed income asset’s time frame (duration) to optimize the risk profile of the portfolio
• Determine which fixed income assets will perform best in the current market environment
• Utilize fixed income funds to reduce the credit risk of individual bonds and select the funds with the best in class managers in each asset class
• Allocate the percentage of each asset to the portfolio and continually monitor for changes
• Allocate and purchase the lowest cost funds available
