INVESTMENT APPROACH
“CastlePoint's approach to equity investing is based on the fundamental belief that markets are inefficient
and mispriced securities can be systematically identified and opportunistically acquired
using a time-tested, rigorous, and highly disciplined investment process.”
INVESTMENTAPPROACH
CastlePoint's approach to equity investing is based on the fundamental belief that markets are inefficient and mispriced securities can be
systematically identified and opportunistically acquired using a time-tested, rigorous, and highly disciplined investment process.
CastlePoint's proprietary investment model, independent-minded portfolio management team, and partnership culture of investing
alongside our clients, are each important and differentiating aspects of our proven and historically successful approach to investing.
As a result of our exhaustive, proprietary research on each stock before reaching a purchase decision, the investment team is confident
current portfolio holdings possess substantial capital appreciation potential and limited downside risk. Evidence of this is the investment
team manages their personal assets alongside those of our clients. This approach succeeds because the team operates in an environment
that takes a long-term view to investments, encourages an intense focus on securities research and analysis, and insures team members
hold a substantial, financial interest in the success of the portfolio. In short, "we eat what we cook.“
"You cannot beat the benchmark, if you are the benchmark." CastlePoint takes a focused approach to investing, which affords the
investment team the opportunity to better understand portfolio holdings and, equally important, the fortitude and conviction to stay the
course when it's most difficult (and important) to do so. It's realistic and possible to achieve this level of confidence with a portfolio
comprised of a more manageable level of 30 to 35 holdings. Our goal is to construct portfolios in which security selection is the largest
contributor to index-relative outperformance.
It's fair to characterize CastlePoint's approach as largely "style-agnostic," though historically portfolio characteristics tend to exhibit a value
bias. It's also appropriate to view the approach as being predominately "benchmark agnostic" in the sense the presence or absence a
security (or its weight in a benchmark) is irrelevant in the security selection process. This also holds true when looking at portfolio sector
allocations relative to a benchmark.
Finally, CastlePoint's investment approach reflects our belief we are simply not smart enough to pick the trough when buying or the peak
when selling a stock; as such, we employ a "time diversification" approach to buying and selling securities. Practically speaking, this
typically entails moving gradually into or out of portfolio positions at 50 bps to 150 bps per transaction.
Investment Approach
INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY
“CastlePoint's investment philosophy is based on thoroughly researched and widely accepted financial
concepts thoughtfully chosen and uniquely woven together. The end result is a well crafted,
time tested process that systematically exploits enduring market anomalies.”
PHILOSOPHY–BEHAVIORALFINANCE
Investment Philosophy
CastlePoint's investment philosophy is based on thoroughly researched, well established, and widely accepted financial
theories and concepts thoughtfully chosen and uniquely woven together. The result is a uniquely crafted, time tested
investment process that systematically exploits enduring market anomalies - outperforming market indices over the most
tumultuous and challenging market environment in recent history.
Briefly, there are three elements of our investment philosophy:
 Market Overreaction to Dramatic Unexpected News Events
 Fallacies of Company and Market Forecasting
 Patience and Long-term Investment Horizon
Market Overreaction
Based upon thoroughly documented and widely accepted academic research, equity market participants systematically
“overreact” with knee-jerk responses to unexpected and dramatic news events, pushing stock prices to unsustainably high and
low levels. The natural tendency for many investors is to overweight recent headline news, regardless of its actual relevance or
significance for a particular company, and underweight prior data that is wider and deeper in scope. This includes the
implications, if any, on the embedded characteristics of an individual company (e.g., pricing power, strength of brand name,
presence of significant barriers to entry) that are slow to change.
These information surges frequently lead less disciplined, short-term oriented investors into reacting to potentially irrelevant or
largely immaterial headline news and subsequently making cognitive errors and emotion driven mistakes. The result is stock
prices change more rapidly than the intrinsic value of the underlying companies, creating an exploitable dislocation or
divergence between the price for and the value of a company's shares.
Consequently, CastlePoint uses its proprietary Valuation, Screening & Investment Model (VSIM™), which evaluates and
calculates intrinsic values based on growth rates using a company's historical financial record for each company in the investable
universe. VSIM™ evaluates and relies upon a company's proven historical ability to generate cash flow; not on a forecast of what
it may be able to generate. CastlePoint's investment team uses this critical tool to determine an overreaction from an
appropriate one.
Fallacies of Forecasting Long-term Investment Horizon
PHILOSOPHY–FORECASTING&LONG-TERMHORIZON
Relying on the ability to make forecasts is a precarious basis for any investment process. The ability to accurately forecast
market trends, economic variables, or the earnings of a company with any degree of consistency is extremely rare. The
examples of expert forecasts being incorrect by orders of magnitude are too numerous to detail here. Furthermore for a
forecast to hold value, it must overcome three, almost insurmountable hurdles:
 Accurate: The most obvious quality a forecast must possess is that it must be accurate.
 Timely: A forecast ultimately proves accurate must be made on a timely basis in order for it to have value and there to be
sufficient time upon which to act.
 Different from Consensus: Finally, in addition to being accurate and timely, a forecast must be different from the consensus.
A forecast consistent with the consensus estimate is, in all likelihood, already reflected in a company's stock price and
generally of limited value.
Market Overreaction Fallacies of Forecasting Long-term Investment Horizon
Market Overreaction Fallacies of Forecasting Long-term Investment Horizon
Forecasting how long it will take for the market price of a stock to converge with its intrinsic value is extraordinarily difficult, if
not impossible. As detailed previously, the field of forecasting is fraught with danger. As result, CastlePoint takes a long-term
perspective when evaluating and acquiring securities for the portfolio and generally expects to hold them for at least a three- to
five-year period.
Aside from the obvious benefits of enhancing returns through lower transaction costs and more favorable tax treatment (when
applicable), long-term investing does not create the compulsion to “do something” in periods of short term volatility.
INVESTMENT PROCESS
“The guiding principles that serve as the cornerstone of CastlePoint’s investment strategy is based on
thoroughly researched and well-established financial theory. The foundation of the philosophy and
process is largely based on exploiting cognitive errors and emotional decisions of market participants.”

  • 7. INVESTMENT APPROACH “CastlePoint's approach to equity investing is based on the fundamental belief that markets are inefficient and mispriced securities can be systematically identified and opportunistically acquired using a time-tested, rigorous, and highly disciplined investment process.”
  • 8. INVESTMENTAPPROACH CastlePoint's approach to equity investing is based on the fundamental belief that markets are inefficient and mispriced securities can be systematically identified and opportunistically acquired using a time-tested, rigorous, and highly disciplined investment process. CastlePoint's proprietary investment model, independent-minded portfolio management team, and partnership culture of investing alongside our clients, are each important and differentiating aspects of our proven and historically successful approach to investing. As a result of our exhaustive, proprietary research on each stock before reaching a purchase decision, the investment team is confident current portfolio holdings possess substantial capital appreciation potential and limited downside risk. Evidence of this is the investment team manages their personal assets alongside those of our clients. This approach succeeds because the team operates in an environment that takes a long-term view to investments, encourages an intense focus on securities research and analysis, and insures team members hold a substantial, financial interest in the success of the portfolio. In short, "we eat what we cook.“ "You cannot beat the benchmark, if you are the benchmark." CastlePoint takes a focused approach to investing, which affords the investment team the opportunity to better understand portfolio holdings and, equally important, the fortitude and conviction to stay the course when it's most difficult (and important) to do so. It's realistic and possible to achieve this level of confidence with a portfolio comprised of a more manageable level of 30 to 35 holdings. Our goal is to construct portfolios in which security selection is the largest contributor to index-relative outperformance. It's fair to characterize CastlePoint's approach as largely "style-agnostic," though historically portfolio characteristics tend to exhibit a value bias. It's also appropriate to view the approach as being predominately "benchmark agnostic" in the sense the presence or absence a security (or its weight in a benchmark) is irrelevant in the security selection process. This also holds true when looking at portfolio sector allocations relative to a benchmark. Finally, CastlePoint's investment approach reflects our belief we are simply not smart enough to pick the trough when buying or the peak when selling a stock; as such, we employ a "time diversification" approach to buying and selling securities. Practically speaking, this typically entails moving gradually into or out of portfolio positions at 50 bps to 150 bps per transaction. Investment Approach

  • 10. PHILOSOPHY–BEHAVIORALFINANCE Investment Philosophy CastlePoint's investment philosophy is based on thoroughly researched, well established, and widely accepted financial theories and concepts thoughtfully chosen and uniquely woven together. The result is a uniquely crafted, time tested investment process that systematically exploits enduring market anomalies - outperforming market indices over the most tumultuous and challenging market environment in recent history. Briefly, there are three elements of our investment philosophy:  Market Overreaction to Dramatic Unexpected News Events  Fallacies of Company and Market Forecasting  Patience and Long-term Investment Horizon Market Overreaction Based upon thoroughly documented and widely accepted academic research, equity market participants systematically “overreact” with knee-jerk responses to unexpected and dramatic news events, pushing stock prices to unsustainably high and low levels. The natural tendency for many investors is to overweight recent headline news, regardless of its actual relevance or significance for a particular company, and underweight prior data that is wider and deeper in scope. This includes the implications, if any, on the embedded characteristics of an individual company (e.g., pricing power, strength of brand name, presence of significant barriers to entry) that are slow to change. These information surges frequently lead less disciplined, short-term oriented investors into reacting to potentially irrelevant or largely immaterial headline news and subsequently making cognitive errors and emotion driven mistakes. The result is stock prices change more rapidly than the intrinsic value of the underlying companies, creating an exploitable dislocation or divergence between the price for and the value of a company's shares. Consequently, CastlePoint uses its proprietary Valuation, Screening & Investment Model (VSIM™), which evaluates and calculates intrinsic values based on growth rates using a company's historical financial record for each company in the investable universe. VSIM™ evaluates and relies upon a company's proven historical ability to generate cash flow; not on a forecast of what it may be able to generate. CastlePoint's investment team uses this critical tool to determine an overreaction from an appropriate one. Fallacies of Forecasting Long-term Investment Horizon
  • 11. PHILOSOPHY–FORECASTING&LONG-TERMHORIZON Relying on the ability to make forecasts is a precarious basis for any investment process. The ability to accurately forecast market trends, economic variables, or the earnings of a company with any degree of consistency is extremely rare. The examples of expert forecasts being incorrect by orders of magnitude are too numerous to detail here. Furthermore for a forecast to hold value, it must overcome three, almost insurmountable hurdles:  Accurate: The most obvious quality a forecast must possess is that it must be accurate.  Timely: A forecast ultimately proves accurate must be made on a timely basis in order for it to have value and there to be sufficient time upon which to act.  Different from Consensus: Finally, in addition to being accurate and timely, a forecast must be different from the consensus. A forecast consistent with the consensus estimate is, in all likelihood, already reflected in a company's stock price and generally of limited value. Market Overreaction Fallacies of Forecasting Long-term Investment Horizon Market Overreaction Fallacies of Forecasting Long-term Investment Horizon Forecasting how long it will take for the market price of a stock to converge with its intrinsic value is extraordinarily difficult, if not impossible. As detailed previously, the field of forecasting is fraught with danger. As result, CastlePoint takes a long-term perspective when evaluating and acquiring securities for the portfolio and generally expects to hold them for at least a three- to five-year period. Aside from the obvious benefits of enhancing returns through lower transaction costs and more favorable tax treatment (when applicable), long-term investing does not create the compulsion to “do something” in periods of short term volatility.
