Kern Capital Management specializes in investments of the stocks of US companies in the health technology, technology, technology services and health services sectors. The firm's investment process begins with fundamental investment research. Their research seeks to find companies early in their growth cycle while they are relatively undiscovered. The firm relies heavily on in-house research for all portfolio investment decisions. Once attractive opportunities are identified, their bottom-up fundamental approach focuses on analyzing income statements and balance sheets to determine a company's ability to achieve and sustain high rates of future growth. A company's ability to fund operations under various economic and stock market conditions is also a factor. Portfolio weightings are based on the level of conviction in the company's fundamentals, valuation relative to the fundamentals and the anticipated time horizon for capital appreciation.
