SMID Cap Strategy   

Our SMID Cap strategy is an extension of our Small Cap Strategy and was initiated in 1996. It holds between twenty (20) and thirty (30) positions at any time. The market capitalization of these domestic companies is between $1 billion and $8 billion at the time of initial purchase. No single company will be greater than ten percent (10%) of the portfolio value, and no single industry will be greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of the portfolio value. Currently, this strategy may be accessed by two product types: direct separate account management ($10MM minimum) and wrap account programs through select broker/dealers.

 

Focused Global Strategy

This strategy is a concentrated portfolio of between six (6) and twelve (12) companies from around the globe and is not restricted by market capitalization. This strategy is available as a directly managed separate account.

INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

SouthernSun follows a proven process within areas of the equity investment arena. These areas are Small Cap, SMID Cap and Focused Global. While these strategies differ in terms of the size and number of companies held in each portfolio, our approach to implementing them is the same.

 

Small Cap Strategy   

Our Small Cap strategy began with the firm’s inception in 1989. In this area we seek out domestic companies with a market capitalization of between $250 million and $2 billion at the time of initial purchase. Our target number of companies to have in this discipline is twenty (20) to thirty (30) at any time. No single company will be greater than ten percent (10%) of the portfolio value, and no single industry will be greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of the portfolio value.

 

Currently, this strategy may be accessed by three product types: direct separate account management ($20MM minimum applies), wrap account programs through select broker/dealers, and a mutual fund (SouthernSun Small Cap Fund - SSSFX).
