Quality Grade
Ten criteria we use to identify the industry’s view of
current and foreseeable quality of a company’s
people, products and services.
Timeliness Grade
Fourteen criteria we use to assess the product/service
ramp’s impact on current and future financial
statements and stockmovements.
Proprietary
Growth Model Grade
Identifies companies with outstanding Return on Shareholders Equity
relative to the estimated P/E.
Other Investors’
Best Valuation Grade
Identifies when other investors will begin to buy/sell
securities based upon estimated EPS Growth
relative to the estimated P/E.
� The cornerstone of the Fund’s buy/sell discipline is the Price Performance Model, a proprietary stock picking and portfolio management tool developed by Mazama which has been used for over 20 years across multiple equity growth strategies.
� The sum of the components within this framework provides the overall Price Performance Model Grade.
� Provides a qualitative and quantitative framework to identify, evaluate, track and rank stocks with attractive ROE and high earnings growth.
