Longwood is a GARP manager that invests in a limited number of attractive, high quality growth companies that they project will have above-average growth in earnings and ROE. They look to find companies in the early stages of dynamic change that will result in accelerating earnings growth. Investment decisions are based on one criterion: the price at which they buy the stock must be attractive to its long-term intrinsic value. Longwood conducts fundamental research and places a high priority on accurately assessing the intrinsic value of a business before making investments. Longwood's approach is bottom-up and the basis of their fundamental research comes from three sources: stock chart/valuation screening and experience.
