Suffolk Capital Management offers core, large-cap growth and small-cap growth investment products. The firm's investment approach is based on the premise that most stocks are priced efficiently, reflecting the market's expectations of growth and perceptions of risk. Their investment selection process is quantitatively-driven, but it relies heavily on fundamental analysis.Suffolk's investment approach focuses on analyzing changes in short-term fundamentals to predict stock price. They seek to identify mispriced stocks with the potential for earnings revisions and other factors. Suffolk analyzes companies' revised earnings forecasts, looking for stocks having better long-term growth prospects than are reflected in current market prices. The firm uses a proprietary blend of research and stock selection techniques. First, a stock's expected returns are determined by a quantitative model incorporating growth, valuation and risk factors. Then, they analyze the earnings estimates for those companies appearing to have the most potential for stock price appreciation to determine if those estimates are likely to be revised upward or downward. Finally, Suffolk performs a fundamental analysis of growth potential.
