Jeremy’s investment processes
• The Lang Approach – for UK equity growth portfolios
• The Value Dynamic – for UK equity income portfolios

An investment process for specialist UK equity growth portfolios.
Applied to Liontrust First Growth Fund
- When a company announces higher than expected profits
analysts revise their forecasts. This can drive share prices
upwards as the market digests and catches up with events.
- Companies that have recently surprised the market with their
profits have a tendency to do so again.
- By focusing on companies that have recently surprised,
The Lang Approach is able to identify companies whose
potential to surprise the market in the future is, we believe,
underestimated by stock market analysts.
- The portfolio will invest in a range of companies whose profit
growth has recently been greater than the market’s expectations. |

- Extreme expectations, and stock prices that have moved a lot,
have a tendency to come back to the average - investors
over-react to extreme events.
- The unwinding of over-reaction is remarkably consistent.
Five year losers, judged on previous price falls, have a strong
tendency to bounce back, and generally keep going for at
least three years.
- An investor can exploit this over-reaction by concentrating
on stocks with unusually high yields.
- Historically, when the number of these stocks has averaged
more than twenty, the returns, even in weaker markets,
have been excellent.
