BCM utilizes a specific philosophy based on investing in what they believe are Exceptional Growth Companies (EGCs) over the long-term and having the patience and tolerance to hold them as they transform their sustained revenue growth into increasing earnings. The principal drivers for the firm’s sell discipline are: (1) when the fundamentals that spurred the original investment change adversely, or; (2) the security becomes overvalued, or; (3) a new, superior investment replaces an existing, less attractive investment, or; (4) it is determined that the security has been an investment mistake.
