The investment strategy applies academic research by Dr. Joel Shulman, Professor of Entrepreneurship at Babson College. Professor Shulmans 20+ years of analysis asserts that organizations which emphasize entrepreneurial culture, organic growth, and aligned compensation trump corporate bureaucracy on a regular basis. Entrepreneurial leaders keep their organization costs lean, debt levels manageable, and expansion projects within reach. Many have built their companies from inception and therefore have a vested interest in utilizing resources efciently. Their interest in success is often both economic and non-economic, which often translates into superior returns for shareholders.

investment process & objective

The investment objective of the Entrepreneur US Large Cap strategy is to provide positive alpha and upside capture for its clients. The strategy is benchmarked against the S&P 500 index. The selection process utilizes quantitative lters for an initial screen on a very large database and then applies qualitative, fundamental analysis for the nal selection. The fund manager performs monthly portfolio monitoring and rebalancing based on consistency with the 15 entrepreneurial attributes. The strategy tends to have a very low turnover rate and seeks consistent, long-term organic growth.

disclaimers > EntrepreneurShares is an institutional asset management firm and is registered with the SEC as an investment advisor. The Entrepreneur US Large Cap Strategy (the Strategy) contains portfolios invested in equities with market capitalizations above $5B exclusively within the US. The benchmark is the S&P 500 index. Performance data of the index was obtained from publicly available sources. From inception (7/31/2005) through December 2013, the Strategy represents the US long only performance extracted from the EntrepreneurShares Global Equities composite as well as cash allocation of 2% based on the intention to be fully invested. Investment returns include realized and unrealized gains and losses and dividends. The index is not directly comparable to the performance of the Strategy because the index is not actively managed and represents a more broadly diversified mix of equity securities.
