Research and Maintain a Global Proprietary Database
- Gotham Asset Management's team of financial analysts continually collect, analyze and adjust all relevant financial data on over 4200 global stocks using the methods developed by Joel Greenblatt through 30 years of investment experience.
Portfolio Construction Using Systematic Value Weighted Approach
- The proprietary database is the foundation to an investment process which allows Gotham to systematically analyze the absolute and relative valuation of stocks.
- Stocks are selected and weighted on a number of proprietary measures of valuation. These measures may include assessments of earnings yield and return on capital as well as other value factors.
Consistent and Logical Portfolio & Risk Management
- All stocks are continually re-ranked and rebalanced to weight most heavily those stocks that are priced at the largest discount to various measures of value. The portfolio adjusts as prices and company fundamentals change.
- Guidelines for individual stock concentration, industry group concentration and country concentration (for International strategies) are applied to enhance diversification and manage risk.
- Gotham seeks to minimize turnover and market impact costs.
