Investment Talent on Tap - Systematic Financial Management



Systematic Financial Management ("Systematic")


Systematic's investment philosophy is predicated on certain beliefs about investor and market behavior. Systematic believes:

  • Stock prices ultimately reflect changing consensus earnings estimates
  • Investors are slow to react to a company's changing pattern of earnings
  • Out-of-favor, undervalued companies have investment potential only when their fundamentals experience stronger improvement than market consensus

Systematic attempts to identify companies that

  • Have attractive valuations
  • Have a catalyst in place to drive future positive earnings growth
  • Exhibit evidence that a fundamental and sustainable turnaround is in place before other investors recognize the shift and adjust their earnings expectations

Avoiding the "Value Trap"


Systematic's proprietary earnings catalyst model helps them avoid the "value trap" of buying cheap companies that only get cheaper.
