Fundamental Strategies
Three Generic Themes
Time the equity market by shifting funds into and out of stocks,
bonds, and T-bills depending on broad market forecasts
Shift funds among different equity sectors and industries (e.g.,
financial stocks, technology stocks) or among investment styles
(e.g., value, growth large capitalization, small capitalization). This
is basically the sector rotation strategy
Do stock picking and look at individual issues in an attempt to
find undervalued stocks

Fundamental Strategies:
The 130/30 Strategy
Long positions up to 130% of the portfolios
original capital and short positions up to 30%
Use of the short positions creates the leverage
needed, increasing both risk and expected
returns compared to the funds benchmark
Enable managers to make full use of their
fundamental research to buy stocks they identify
as undervalued as well as short those that are
overvalued

Investment Styles
Value Versus Growth
Value investor focuses on share price in anticipation of a market
correction and improving company fundamentals
Value stocks generally have offered somewhat higher returns than
growth stocks, but this does not occur with much consistency from
one investment period to another
Focus on the price component
Not care much about current earnings
Assume the P/E ratio is below its natural level
