Fox Asset Management is a value-oriented investment manager. Their objectives are superior long-term total return and capital preservation. The firm's value-oriented equity strategy begins with a screening process that seeks to identify growing companies whose stocks sell at discounted p/e and price-to-cash flow multiples. Fox Asset Management prefers to invest in companies that maintain strong balance sheets and provide above-average dividend yields. The firm also looks for situations where intrinsic asset values are not widely recognized. They employ rigorous fundamental analysis that includes both quantitative and qualitative methods. The firm employs a bottom-up approach to identify undervalued stocks. Fox Asset Management looks for emerging and established trends that point to profit growth. They are not overly dependent on economic trends in their stock selection. The firm's portfolios are typically fully invested. However, if cash builds because of their sell discipline, transitional cash is held until values that meet the firm's criteria become available.
