New Amsterdam Partners believes that superior investment results are driven by capitalizing on market mispricings. Their investment process is a blend of quantitative and fundamental research. The first step in the process is to quantify, but with certain critical modifications, the research that traditional analysts perform by hand. They use a proprietary investment model to rank a universe of over 10,000 stocks according to expected investment return. From that universe, the firm's model derives the top 100-ranked stocks within a given strategy. These stocks have better-than-average profitability and long-term growth prospects, and are selling at market or below-market multiples. New Amsterdam performs fundamental analysis on the top 100 companies to select a portfolio of about 40-45 stocks for most strategies (50-60 stocks for their All-Cap strategy). The firm's strategies include: Active Equity (Large-Cap, Mid-Cap, Small/Mid-Cap, All-Cap), Growth Active Equity (Small-Cap), Quality Growth Active Equity (Large-Cap, Mid-Cap) and Socially Responsible Active Equity (Large-Cap and Mid-Cap).
