Philosophy & Process
The team employs a growth-oriented investment philosophy focusing on identifying company-specific growth inflection points and exploiting associated marketplace inefficiencies. Our philosophy hinges on a belief that market expectations tend to be ‘anchored’ to historical information and that points of inflection therefore introduce dislocations between market expectations and fundamentals which generate significant alpha capture opportunities. The team combines bottom up fundamental and macro analysis with a nimble and active investment approach to identify inefficiencies and generate a portfolio which uniquely seeks to achieve superior aggregate growth rates as well as superior risk characteristics.
Featured Commentary
Inflation
Earlier this month, the US Government announced that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) gauge of inflation recorded an 8.6% increase over the last 12 months, the highest level in 40 years. As the specter of inflation moves to a duration beyond ‘temporary’, the Driehaus International Small Cap Growth strategy continues to focus our exposure to sectors best positioned to manage and potentially benefit from rising prices.
Driehaus International Small Cap Growth Fund December 2021 Commentary with Attribution
So long 2021! We bid you farewell and adieu. Once again (on many levels) I think it’s yet another year we’d rather just forget. The reality of course is many of the changes both economic and political will likely have long lasting effects and be with us for quite some time. It was however not all bad news… What many pundits didn’t think was possible, global markets followed one of their best years on record in 2020 with yet another year of impressive absolute gains.
