Selway Capital LLC
 Selway Capital LLC Investment ManagersFinance Selway Capital invests in the information and communications technology sector including areas that are being transformed by the convergence of high-performance computing, global high-speed telecommunications and advanced sensing and data analysis. This includes network hardware & software, wireless communications, distributed computing & interoperable web-based services and rich media creation & distribution infrastructure. The firm also targets investments where they can capitalize on long-term growth trends in the defense and security sector including surveillance and monitoring, rapid deployment communications technologies for military and emergency situations, software for operationally intensive environments, data archiving, searching and retrieval and other defense technologies. Selway Capital invests in expansion-stage companies that are largely past product or technology development risk and can demonstrate some level of market validation. They invest in early-stage companies with exceptional technology or other proprietary advantages that are poised to capitalize on major market trends. Selway Capital also invests in later-stage middle-market buyout opportunities that are attractively priced and offer upside growth potential. Selway Capital prefers to acquire controlling positions in their portfolio companies, but they can invest with their investment partners as necessary. Selway Capital looks for companies in large growing markets with sustainable competitive advantages, strong management, an attractive financial model and the potential for a successful exit. They look for competitive advantages based on a unique market position, a novel competitive strategy, specialized expertise, patents or trade secrets. Companies should be able to deliver strong margins and should have low to medium capital intensity and a high degree of financial and operational scalability. Selway Capital seeks investment opportunities where strong valuations exist for comparable public and private companies. | Corporate Officer/Principal | 2010-03-28 |

MB Investment Partners, Inc.
 MB Investment Partners, Inc. Investment ManagersFinance MB Investment Partners' (MBIP) expertise includes equity management in large- and small-cap strategies, as well as balanced and fixed- income account management. MBIP begins by examining factors that can influence financial markets such as national and world events, political and tax changes, as well as shifts in social attitudes. They then cull a handful of broad themes that will drive this investment outlook. They search for sustained changes in technology, economics and business practices that create opportunities for significant gains. The final selection of securities combines the consideration of a macroeconomic view, their chosen themes and direct contacts with the companies. MBIP accomplishes this process by assigning certain industries and companies to their research analysts and to each of the portfolio managers for thorough review. Their investment recommendations are then considered and compared by all managers until a consensus is reached. The final step is to examine the trading patterns of the stocks that MBIP has chosen to determine when and at what price they will buy and sell. MBIP's growth equity strategy is a bottom-up fundamental approach focused on investing in companies that are capable of generating strong revenue growth and sustainable long-term earnings gains at least 50% greater than that of the S&P 500. They also seek companies that, based upon their valuation metrics, have under-appreciated growth potential. A number of quantitative measures are used to initially identify potential candidates for inclusion in the portfolio. However, only after the completion of extensive fundamental analysis is a stock approved for investment. Portfolios are concentrated typically in 30 to 40 positions. For fixed-income, the firm emphasizes quality bonds with intermediate maturities in order to maintain a high degree of liquidity and to limit the volatility of the portfolio. Longer-term issues may be used as equity substitutes in periods when MBIP believes that projected returns are competitive with the equity markets. Since the relationship between taxable and municipal bond yields changes from time to time, they will invest in either sector to optimize after-tax returns for their clients. In assessing the attractiveness of the bond market, MBIP employs the same discipline of fundamental and technical analysis that is used in the investment process for equities. They look for changes in fundamentals or investor psychology that will be the catalyst to provide superior returns. | Finance |
