SMD-AM USA aims to provide stable, maximum above benchmark returns over the medium-to-long term through active management, and by taking advantage of market inefficiencies, of investments in equity securities. The firm seeks to achieve these goals by analyzing fundamentals from a global perspective, investing actively through a well-defined and structured process, maintaining a consistent investment style and conducting comprehensive risk management. Their philosophy is centered on the firm’s belief that a local Asian presence enables their managers and analysts to accurately interpret and predict the subtleties of the region’s market sentiment. They employ a bottom-up approach with a top-down overlay and aim to add value primarily through a mix of stock selection and sector allocation.
