Assets in strategy: $8.3 million (As of 3/31/12)

Portfolio Status: Strategy open to new investors

Objective: Realize a total return exceeding the Russell 2000 Growth Index over a full market cycle.

Strategy: The Oberweis Small-Cap Opportunities strategy seeks to capitalize on the exceptional growth potential of smaller companies that are often misunderstood by traditional Wall Street research analysts.  The Oberweis Small-Cap Opportunities strategy generally invests in companies (with market capitalizations under $3.0 billion at the time of purchase) where our expectations for earnings growth differ from consensus expectations.  These companies often boast exciting products and/or services, a strong and sustainable competitive position, and the potential for upward revisions in earnings expectations in the future.  Our fundamental research process is specifically designed to efficiently identify such opportunities.

Benefits:

  • Potential for significant alpha over a full market cycle
  • Disciplined and repeatable investment process managed by a passionate and experienced investment team
  • Fundamental research process specifically designed to efficiently discover smaller cap companies that are misunderstood by traditional Wall Street research analysts
  • Exposure to smaller cap companies offering the potential for earnings growth that differs from consensus expectations
  • Diversified portfolio with a focus on risk management
