This philosophy is built on the following strengths of our firm:
 |
Our investment architecture was developed at a large corporate plan sponsor and carried over to our firm today. Our investment management approach does not constrain us to be boxed into any particular style and be limited to the performance of that style. This architecture entailed development of a systematic capability to manage the three legs of the asset management stool: return, risk and cost.
|
|
Our investment process is premised on the truism that strategy dominates tactics. We do not process data by cleansing, filtering and analyzing data to assure compatibility with fitting into a style box and then tactically choosing the lucky stocks that fit the box. Rather, FAMCO differs by analyzing strategically which box is worthy of receiving data. Thus, our research efforts are productively streamlined because of our focus to execute our strategy.
|
|
We have a manageable size. We are a small team composed of motivated professionals having focused skills. Leanness is our strength because we are able to manage factual data rather than people, allowing senior professionals to focus on investment decisions, not people decisions. Quality investment decisions are a product not of departmental depth, but depth of thinking, the latter being facilitated by leanness and focus.
