DJG's investment process begins with screening for stocks that are priced significantly below their worth, where a catalyst is likely to move the stocks price in the direction of its intrinsic value. The firm uses in-depth research to invest in US equities that are selling at a significant discount to intrinsic value. DJG thoroughly examines companies with the goal of evaluating underlying economic value and how that value might be passed along to shareholders, particularly by changes in management, financial structure, or business strategy. Equities with high potential are scrutinized in-depth to refine the determination of intrinsic value through comparative peer company valuations, announced transaction pricing and intensive cash flow analysis. Their investment committee monitors portfolio selection and construction. They will sell a stock when the price to intrinsic value gap has significantly narrowed, management changes the strategic plan, the fundamentals deteriorate or the portfolio needs diversification. DJC focuses on small-mid cap companies in across all sectors.
