Focus on value and the long term.

Seizert Capital embraces a value-centric philosophy rooted in discovering misunderstood or neglected stocks whose prices do not reflect underlying strength and opportunity. We believe market inefficiencies and emotion can cause this significant undervaluation. Our disciplined and extensive fundamental analysis reveals these undervalued companies and helps us identify the most attractive investment candidates. We utilize a multi-factor ranking model to screen candidates and provide a framework of attractiveness. These factors are:

• Value
• Capital Deployment
• Earnings Quality
• Market Reaction/Momentum

We are bottom-up focused and pay primary attention to companies that are well managed, allocate capital conservatively, and practice transparent, consistent and conservative accounting practices.

In particular, we look at valuation relative to a company's peers but also on an intrinsic value basis using a return on invested cash flow model. In general, stocks are considered that we believe are selling at a substantial discount of estimated intrinsic value.

The investment team weighs all this data and information to ultimately create portfolios that consistently outperform their benchmark and demonstrate strong up/down capture and capital protection. Our focus is long term, with many holdings in portfolios for 2-3 years.

While we are very opportunity focused, we also have a strong focus on risk and risk mitigation, primarily through a strict process discipline and continuous evaluation of each client's portfolio.
