The Non-U.S. Growth (EAFE Only) strategy follows the belief that excess returns can be achieved by investing in companies with improving fundamentals and accelerating growth characteristics.

  • Centers on the belief that accelerating growth in earnings and revenues, rather than the absolute level of growth, is more highly correlated to stock price performance.
  • Directs us to research different companies than other growth managers, as we do not require an absolute threshold of earnings or revenue growth.
  • Allows us to take advantage of both the normal price appreciation that results from a company’s earnings growth and the market's re-rating of a company's price-to-earnings multiple.
