International ADR Equity
The International ADR Equity investment process is driven by our multi-factor quantitative model. A top-down analysis of broad regions, countries and industries provides a ranking of the most attractive market areas in which to invest.

We then focus our bottom-up research on individual companies in the most attractive areas, taking positions in those individual securities which meet our fundamental criteria.

Our model ranks both regions and individual companies on valuation, relative strength and risk level. The result is a portfolio of large, attractively-valued and financially productive international companies focused in the strongest regions of the international market.

"Many foreign equity indices are skewed toward large companies and industries leaving a small number of large stocks driving index performance. That creates an opportunity for us to enhance relative performance through careful stock picking."
