Founded in 1996, GARP Research Corp. is an independent equity research firm for U.S. mid-cap and small-cap growth companies. Their investment philosophy is focused on growth, quality, and control of risk. They have a long-term orientation, but they also believe short-term results benefit from their discipline of waiting for catalysts to emerge and their ability to identify valid long-term growth drivers. They search for high quality as determined by competitive advantages, and potential or actual high return on capital employed. Companies recommend typically generate cash, grow organically, and are well financed. They control risk by technical analysis of long-term stock charts and proprietary valuation methodology. They typically recommend a stock after it has declined significantly and then based-out over many quarters. They avoid momentum stocks. GARP Research is located in Baltimore, Maryland.
