300 North Capital (300NC) specializes in long-only small-cap, small to mid-cap (SMID) and mid-cap growth equity strategies. The firm also manages accounts and funds with a global macro strategy. 300NC’s investment approach for small cap, mid-cap, and SMID-cap strategies focuses primarily on fundamental, bottom-up research. In addition, they overlay a top-down strategic outlook. Their equity universe consists of U.S. companies, ADRs, and relevant U.S. traded foreign companies with market-cap in the range of the relative Russell growth index. 300NC’s global macro product is a variable biased global macro strategy that primarily invests in equities, fixed income securities, commodities, and currencies. The strategy holds only listed, liquid securities, and maintains a gross invested position generally between 0% and 200% and net exposure generally between -100% and +200%, in normal capital market environments.

PPCM utilizes an active, bottom-up investment process and seeks to build broadly diversified, low turnover, risk-managed portfolios that will generate consistent excess returns over time. The firm uses quantitative multi-factor valuation screening models to evaluate stock prices relative to company financial metrics and generates a valuation ranking for each stock in the universe. Since not all factors add value all the time, combining them into a portfolio of diversified factors contributes to more consistent excess return. PPCM uses the same factors, but with different weights, across the four different screening models for institutional equity products: Large-Cap Growth, Mid-Cap Growth, Small-Cap Growth, and Large-Cap Value.
