TRADITIONAL EQUITY INVESTMENT PROCESS

U.S., International and Global Strategies

Eagle Global Advisors employs a disciplined, repeatable, and consistent investment process that combines traditional fundamental research with modern quantitative techniques. This process is used to manage both dedicated domestic and international equity portfolios and is designed to provide our team with a global perspective.

The cornerstone of this process is a series of proprietary multi-factor quantitative models that are used as tools to provide directional guidance, to screen potential investments and to monitor existing holdings.
 
PHILOSOPHY

Eagle's investment philosophy is centered on a belief that emphasizing large capitalization companies that produce superior earnings growth offers the best combination of high return potential with lower associated risk.

Eagle strives to invest in companies that generate consistent earnings, cash flows and returns on equity as well as those with strong management teams that reward patient investors with above average market returns while limiting risk over the long term.

Research
Eagle's disciplined process incorporates both top down and bottom up elements and is designed to identify companies with improving growth prospects that have not been incorporated into current valuations.
 
Quantitative multi factor models are used to provide top down directional guidance towards areas with improving prospects and away from areas with deteriorating prospects.

The cornerstone of this process is a proprietary multi factor security ranking model that is used to identify companies that warrant further in depth financial and qualitative review.

Fundamental work includes a qualitative analysis of a company’s competitive strengths, weaknesses and industry positioning as well as an assessment of management’s strategy and integrity.

A rigorous analysis of company financials is performed with an emphasis on measuring quality of earnings, balance sheet strength, cash flow and cost of capital.
Top-Down Analysis
15% to 20%
Bottom-Up Research
80% to 85%
 
Multi Factor Modeling
During portfolio construction, the investible universe is narrowed to meet our capitalization, liquidity, analyst coverage and competitive position requirements. The universe is then ranked monthly using a proprietary multi factor model that incorporates growth, valuation, price momentum, and earnings revision metrics. The output is combined with top-down analysis to identify candidates that warrant further in depth financial and qualitative review. Fundamental analysis is performed to assess the quality of company managements, financials, competitive position, valuation, return potential, and their plans to maintain competitive advantages and increase shareholder value.
