The Kenwood Group, Inc.
The Kenwood Group, Inc. Investment ManagersFinance Kenwood manages investments according to a consistent and disciplined approach that seeks to provide superior returns while keeping a low-risk profile. The firm is a value-oriented manager with a preference for well-managed companies that are priced below their inherent value for one of three reasons: they have been overlooked by the investment community, they are out of favor with the market or they are experiencing temporary problems. The primary focus is on mid-cap companies, a market segment in which Kenwood believes there are significant inefficiencies and therefore opportunities to realize superior returns. In the firm's judgment, this market niche tends to be more liquid than the small-cap market, and thus may represent lower risks while offering comparable returns to the small-cap market. Investing exclusively in equities, they believe that superior performance can result from emphasizing stocks with minimal downside risk, rather than seeking those with extraordinary upside potential. Stocks with a record of paying dividends are preferred, since dividends can provide downside protection in a volatile or weak market. This approach is designed with the intent to outperform the S&P 500 index over a full market cycle. Most stocks in their portfolios are held for long periods. However, their disciplined approach to management mandates the sale of a stock that moves significantly above its target price. Stocks that perform poorly will generally be averaged down, unless fundamental changes dictate otherwise. Rather than engaging in market timing, Kenwood believes in maintaining a fully invested position. Moderate cash positions normally reflect a dearth of attractive opportunities, rather than attempts to time the market. | Finance |

Profit Investment Management LLC
Profit Investment Management LLC Investment ManagersFinance Profit Investments initiates the research process with their in-house proprietary screening model— Profit Investments Style —which is most similar to the GARP investment style. The firm utilizes a valuation-sensitive growth investing style. They look to own quality companies trading at a discount, that have a catalyst to help them reach their intrinsic value after a rigorous evaluation process. That evaluation process blends bottoms-up analysis, quantitative and qualitative analysis and risk-control guidelines. Profit Investments believes that a sell discipline is just as important as a buy discipline. The paramount reasons are a stock reaching their price target or management changing strategy so that the original investment thesis that they used to buy the stock is no longer accurate. | Finance |
