Investment Philosophy

Aristotle Capital Boston’s investment philosophy is grounded in the belief that long-term business fundamentals ultimately determine company equity values. However, in the short-term, equity prices may change as investors react to headlines, quarterly earnings reports, industry news or macroeconomic events. As a result, the firm believes a patient, disciplined investment approach focused on understanding long-term business fundamentals increases our ability to look past market noise and gives us the best opportunity to own great businesses at attractive price levels while seeking to generate long-term alpha for our clients.
