The Burridge Group LLC
The Burridge Group LLC Investment ManagersFinance TBG uses a fundamental research driven investment process to capture the growth potential of small- to mid-cap stocks. The strategy is geared to identify those companies with the best combination of future earnings growth and attractive valuation. Once companies with accelerating earnings growth have been identified, the team conducts fundamental research to determine if the perceived change in the company's growth rate is sustainable and whether the future earnings power is fully reflected in the company's stock price. The firm's research team conducts ongoing fundamental research to monitor the earnings growth rate and stock valuation of portfolio holdings. Positions that have appreciated and are approaching high valuations are trimmed. Companies whose future earnings growth rates are decelerating or whose current earnings are not meeting expectations are sold. | Corporate Officer/Principal | 31/12/1998 |

Talon Asset Management, Inc.
Talon Asset Management, Inc. Investment ManagersFinance Talon Asset Management (TAM) seeks to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns through fundamental, bottom-up security selection and a focus on capital preservation. TAM's equity strategies invest in small, mid- and large-cap companies with quality management teams and sound business fundamentals. The firm invests in companies whose stock's valuation is supported by the company's current cash flows, asset value and future growth potential. The firm adheres to a value-orientated approach that avoids overpaying for growth. TAM employs a bottom-up fundamental research process that reviews a company's industry, competitive position, financial strength, earnings history and earnings outlook. The firm also considers management's track record, ownership position and incentives. Capital preservation is also a critical component of TAM's stock selection process. They do not invest in a company unless they can understand the potential downside to the investment. Once the downside risk is calculated, they evaluate that risk against the upside opportunity. TAM invests in a company only when there is adequate upside opportunity, given the downside risk. In addition, the firm bases investment decisions on absolute return expectations, rather than on benchmarks against market indices. Though not limited by sector, TAM tends to invest in the stocks of companies in the finance, health technology and industrial services sectors. The firm invests globally, across all market-caps. They maintain a low turnover rate. TAM's fixed-income and balanced accounts invest in high quality bonds to generate income and/or reduce overall portfolio volatility. In their balanced portfolios, the firm avoids duplicating the risks inherent in the portfolio's equity exposure. They actively manage bond portfolios to maximize total return. TAM utilizes a sophisticated methodology for bond management which measures and controls a variety of portfolio attributes. Bonds are combined in a way to achieve efficiency and to meet each client's objectives. TAM's tactical bond decisions are influenced by two proprietary quantitative models. The first model forecasts changes in the shape or slope of the yield curve. The second model monitors and evaluates credit quality, relative to current and historical yield spread levels in the market. This model utilizes market data to highlight dislocations in the risk/reward ratios of individual credits. | Finance |
