Process & Philosophy

BEYOND THE U.S.

Today's global economy has changed where and how we invest. And while the U.S. is still a dominant force, the majority of the world's largest companies are elsewhere. Oppenheimer Capital's International Value managed account portfolio is a convenient way to access growth opportunities outside the U.S.

 

EXPERIENCED SPECIALISTS

Since its inception in 1969, Oppenheimer Capital has built a reputation as a leading value manager. Much of this success is attributable to the experience and expertise of the firm's investment professionals.

 

DISTINCT VALUE PHILOSOPHY

Most value-style managers determine a company's value based on its current financial results. Oppenheimer Capital differentiates itself by defining a company's value as its "intrinsic" worth-current financial results plus all reasonable projections about a company's prospects. Accordingly, the International Value managed account portfolio seeks to invest in the stocks of high-quality businesses that are selling at a discount to their intrinsic value.

 

RESEARCH-INTENSIVE PROCESS

Oppenheimer Capital relies on extensive research and complex analytics to manage the International Value managed account portfolios.

  • Assess current status-conduct rigorous, bottom-up fundamental analysis.
  • Make reasonable predictions-Ojectively make all possible projections about a company's prospects.
  • Calculate intrinsic value-Use sophisticated analytics to quantify current worth plus prospects.
  • Make investment decisions-Build a portfolio of companies selling at a significant discount to their intrinsic value.
Portfolio Construction

Oppenheimer Capital follows this disciplined process to construct an International Value managed account portfolio.

  • Extensive research-Analysts work with global industry sector teams to evaluate region, industry and stock opportunities.
  • Stock selection-All stocks are selected based on company fundamentals. The International Value portfolio manager, with input from analysts, selects approximately 35-50 holdings for the portfolio.
  • Sell strategy-Sell review is triggered if a stock's price approaches full intrinsic value, if the company's fundamentals or risk changes, if the stock price moves sharply in either direction, or if a more attractive alternative is available.
