Strategy
The Fund invests globally in high quality small-mid cap growth businesses that demonstrate sustainable, long term earnings growth.
Highlights
The fund will be comprised of companies owned by other strategies of Seven Canyons, with a bias towards more mature companies with higher consistency of earnings growth. The fund will contain companies domiciled in the US, international-developed, and emerging markets.
The majority of the fund will demonstrate core characteristics such as returns well above cost of capital and a track record of strong and consistent earnings growth.
Good, stable business: revenue growth better than GDP and peers, and is resilient in good and bad economies.
Scalable business model: profit margins and returns on capital improve as revenues grow.
Businesses that are still relatively early in their growth stage, with significant potential for long-term earnings growth.
