As with the other Atlas strategies, GDP uses a consistent, systematic approach with a foundation in academic and Atlas proprietary research.

We are first and foremost value investors. That is, we seek to take advantage of the irrationality of the stock market by purchasing when prices are low and selling when prices are high.  In order to make this strategy work, we must determine what a fair price should be, also known as the "intrinsic value." Toward this end, we adhere to the teachings of Benjamin Graham, best known as Warren Buffett's college instructor, mentor, business partner and friend. Graham, and his business partner David Dodd, authored two master works, "Security Analysis" published in 1937 and "The Intelligent Investor" published in 1949. These widely accepted and authoritative writings are the bedrock upon which our investment strategy is built.

THB believes that stocks of Mid Cap companies are relatively inefficient and that a focused portfolio of high-quality names has the potential to offer superior risk-adjusted returns. THB takes a very long term view of the investment horizon and seeks to outperform the market by protecting during the down periods while offering participation during the up periods. We seek to construct a portfolio of high-quality, self-funded, low-risk companies with valuation metrics similar or lower than the benchmark but that still have superior long-term, value-creating characteristics. We believe the best companies are able to grow their businesses organically and via acquisitions using internally generated cash flows. Debt should be kept to a minimum with a preference for companies that retire shares outstanding. The strategy will hold approximately 30 securities and have high active share (i.e., high percentage of holdings differing from the benchmark Russell Midcap Index).
