Atherean Asset Management is a research-focused, value-oriented investment manager that seeks to purchase stocks when they are trading below intrinsic value. The fund invests in a concentrated bottom-up value-oriented equity portfolio supplemented by other strategies such as risk-arbitrage and trend-following. The idea generation process consists of running quantitative screens to create opportunity sets, followed by qualitative, in-depth analysis. The approach follows Benjamin Graham's philosophy that markets are like a voting machine in the short run and a weighing machine in the long run. Core equity portfolios are characterized by high active share and low turnover, typically holding 15 to 25 stocks chosen for long-term ownership, with intrinsic value determined through quantitative models analyzing net asset value and projected cash flows or dividends.
