Appalachian Asset Management
Appalachian Asset Management Investment ManagersFinance AAM invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of US companies. The firm advisor selects stocks that they believe offer growth opportunities at a reasonable price based on several criteria, including p/e ratio, rate of earnings growth, management stability, past financial stability, the company's position in its industry and dividend records. The firm may sell all or a portion of their investment in a company if the company's p/e ratio moves significantly above its long-term (five year) average, or if the company experiences a dramatic, negative change in its earnings, rate of growth or industry leadership position. | President | 01/03/2006 |
Banc One Investment Advisors
Banc One Investment Advisors Major BanksFinance A team of portfolio managers, research analysts and traders is responsible for the management of each equity portfolio. They employ a bottom-up approach, using proprietary research to analyze and evaluate securities on a stock-by-stock basis. The research process begins with a diverse universe of companies. For each company in the universe, analysts develop earnings and revenue estimates. The analysts use those forecasts to calculate 13 value, growth and risk variables, which are used to rank each stock. Using the forecast and ranking information, the analysts then code the stocks on a 5-point scale - from 1, which is the most attractive to 5, which is the least attractive. The equity teams review the recommendations and create an overall assessment of the stock. The teams select stocks for the portfolios that are attractively priced with improving fundamentals. In choosing fixed income securities, BOIA seeks to avoid market timing and interest rate speculation in favor of strategies providing more consistent value over time. The teams construct the portfolios by using a process that combines specific security selection with macro bond market factors. The firm's fixed income teams actively manage all aspects of the fixed income market using risk-management techniques to minimize volatility and add value through yield curve, sector, issue and duration decisions. | Gestionnaire de Portefeuille-Actions | 31/12/1991 |
