Select Equity

A Differentiated Approach to Concentrated Investing

We believe excess returns are best achieved by investing in high quality companies selling at attractive prices. We focus on companies with strong management teams, broad resources, and a competitive market position that have historically generated, or are positioned to generate, strong Return on Invested Capital (ROIC). The strategy seeks long-term capital appreciation through a concentrated portfolio consisting of the top 15 to 25 holdings from the SBH All Cap strategy.

Investment Philosophy

We believe we can achieve potentially higher outcomes through a focused approach, which allows for concentrating in our highest conviction ideas.

Strategy Description

The team seeks high ROIC companies trading at a 20% discount to our proprietary intrinsic valuation and employs proprietary screens to limit the universe to companies with low embedded expectations. The team integrates Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) factors as a key component in the research process, including analysis of ESG exposure materiality and comparisons against industry peers.

Approach

Return On Invested Capital (ROIC)

The team seeks to uncover companies with high or increasing ROIC, signaling the ability to sustain a competitive advantage.

Free Cash Flow Growth

We focus on companies that can grow their free cash flow and deliver superior risk-adjusted performance over time.

Strong Management Teams

We identify strong management teams that are incentivized to focus on the value of cash flow generation, ROIC, and sustainable corporate cultures.

Independent Approach

Utilizing fundamental analysis, the team employs an independent research approach to uncover catalysts of change that are not fully appreciated by the market.

Integrated ESG Research Approach

We integrate ESG factors into our research as we believe well-run organizations that prioritize the values of their stakeholders can have durable competitive advantages over their peers.
