Growth Equity Approach and Process

SCM Advisors screens across all market capitalizations for earnings surprise and earnings acceleration. We further screen for earnings quality and sustainability, as well as reasonable valuations. The surviving companies are subjected to rigorous fundamental analysis to determine overall quality and potential return. We select stocks of companies which are growing at rates which place them in the top ranks of the universe we screen, which are producing quality, sustainable earnings; which have high quality management; and strong financial characteristics. We meet with management prior to a company's inclusion in the portfolio.
