WDW specializes in small-cap growth stocks. They provide expertise in diversified multi-cap equities, hedge fund investment vehicles and fixed-income cash management. The firm prefers to invest in companies that have not yet been discovered or are temporarily out of favor with Wall Street analysts. Their decisions are based on fundamental analysis. The firm focuses on the merits of each security. They look for earnings growth, solid financials, strong management and exercise a valuation discipline in buy/sell decision. In addition, they adhere to a bottom-up approach and do not rely on market timing or technical analysis. In evaluating stocks, WDW looks at several factors. Their analysis of a company includes these elements: viable growth strategy, strong product position, sustainable profit margins, balance sheet strength, above-average return on capital and consistent performance. Their investment decisions are based on a one to three year time horizon and generally their intention is to hold securities for at least that length of time. WDW's reasons for selling a stock include overvaluation due to appreciation, outsized position in a portfolio, failure of company to meet its original business plan, loss of confidence in the fundamental outlook, change in industry dynamics or if they have a more promising idea.

CR&M maintains an investment philosophy that is distinguished by four key beliefs: fundamental research underlies all investment decisions; investment decisions should not be made lightly; a long-term approach; and the firm uses a system of multiple portfolio managers in managing most account and fund assets. The firm’s investment decisions are subject to a funds or account’s objectives, policies and restrictions and the oversight of the appropriate investment-related committees of the firm and their investment divisions. They typically build portfolios for funds and accounts from the bottom-up using rigorous fundamental research to find attractive investments and manage risks.
