Small Cap Core Equity

Objective

Palisade’s Small Cap Core Equity portfolios seek to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns with an emphasis on capital preservation regardless of the market environment.

Philosophy

We conduct intensive, bottom-up, fundamental stock research and seek to identify high quality, attractively priced companies that can finance internal growth and consistently grow earnings. We believe that management makes a difference, consistency counts, and that sustainability and quality of earnings typically stem from a dominant franchise or a defensible market niche.
