International Equity Strategy

Philosophy

MCM’s International Equity Strategy investment process focuses on identifying high quality companies with earnings growth potential based outside the U.S. Through quantitative screenings, investigative research and valuation analysis, we seek returns through long-term capital gains.

Objective

The strategy seeks long-term capital appreciation by owning equity securities and ETF’s of non-U.S. based companies. Our style is designed to meet a variety of investment objectives as we seek to provide consistent growth of principal.

Strategy

The International Equity Strategy is an all-cap approach to investing that focuses on a bottom-up research. We start with a universe of several thousand companies that trade in the US equity markets using American Depositary Receipts (ADR) and exchange-traded funds. We sort this list down to a manageable number of investment alternatives through a rigorous series of proprietary quantitative screens that include earnings growth, cash flow and financial condition. Most candidates will be larger than $500 million. After this screening, companies undergo a thorough analysis focusing on qualitative factors such as growth potential, market position, proprietary advantages, management capabilities and insider ownership before investing.
