Golden Capital Management's (GCM) offers several domestic and international equity investment strategies, each of which is invested primarily in exchange-listed equity securities. In general, the firm avoids investments in IPOs and private placements. GCM’s investment decision making processes are based on quantitative models that they rely on to make securities buy-sell recommendations and constructing portfolios. GCM uses these models to evaluate financial data concerning thousands of publicly-listed equity securities. With respect to certain of their strategies (i.e., Large Cap Core, SMID Cap Core and Small Cap Core), GCM generally avoids investments in issuers for which the primary industry classification is alcohol, gaming or tobacco. GCM also provides investment advisory services in connection with various managed account programs, including, wrap account programs and model-portfolio programs. GCM’s stock ranking models apply concepts rooted in fundamental analysis. The models assess companies with regard to, among other things, valuation, earnings, and quality; and that assessment is translated into rankings/scores that identify companies as relatively more or less attractive than others. GCM believes that a company with a better ranking is more likely to outperform, on a total return basis, another company with a lower ranking, all things being equal. Accordingly, the firm's investment process is designed to construct portfolios that are typically overweighted in higher-ranked companies, and underweighted in lower-ranked companies. GCM’s discretionary domestic strategies include: Large Cap Core, SMID Cap Core, Small Cap Core, Enhanced Large Cap, Enhanced U.S. Large Equity, Enhanced U.S. Equity Market, Small Cap Equity, Dividend Income, and S&P 500 Equity Index. GCM’s discretionary international/global strategies include: Global Equity Yield, International Small Cap, and International Developed Markets.
