IME Strategy Rating

5 of 5 stars

Strong investment philosophy and rationale for mid and small-cap exposure. The investment team at ALFaccurate established strong execution capabilities of their 3M investment framework (focus on market size, the margin of safety and market share) over the past 10 years through various aged strategies. This diversified strategy is in line with ALFAccurate’s philosophy of running strong risk controls to provide superior risk-adjusted returns for investors, this has been followed consistently. A more diversified strategy does help reduce the high volatility & company risks inherent in mid & small-cap investing.
