Our Difference

CONCENTRATED, HIGH ACTIVE SHARE PORTFOLIOS


 
 

WE ARE FUNDAMENTAL INVESTORS

We focus on our best ideas and conduct rigorous fundamental analysis to create value.

We seek out companies with good management teams, unique or sustainable business models, strong brands, high/improving ROIC, strong balance sheets and meaningful free cash flow.

 

RISK MANAGEMENT IS A KEY DIFFERENTIATOR

12th Street Asset Management believes the key to effective risk management is to:

  1. Determine a fair value for each stock and establish a margin of safety.

  2. Focus on capital preservation as a core portfolio management goal at the individual stock level.

 

Portfolio Management

The philosophy and process of 12th Street Asset Management strongly influences its three investment vehicles


OUR PHILOSOPHY

12th Street Asset Management has employed the same time-tested investment philosophy since our founding.

Superior investment returns can be achieved by investing in a limited selection of good, undervalued companies, and then managing risk by focusing on margins of safety at the individual stock level and making capital preservation a priority.

INVESTMENT PROCESS
