Elk Creek Partners specialize in making growth-oriented investments in publicly-traded stocks of small- and medium-sized companies. The firm offers investment advisory services for specific strategies, including Small-Cap Growth, Mid-Cap Growth and SMID-Cap Growth. Elk Creek Partners works with clients to establish investment objectives based on their unique circumstances. The key elements of the firm's investment approach are growth company identification, fundamental research, valuation analysis, and portfolio construction. The firm's Small-Cap Growth strategy is based on a fundamental, stock-by-stock approach. The portfolio is concentrated in stocks purchased with a market-cap generally of $500 million to $5 billion and with portfolio characteristics similar to the Russell 2000 Growth Index. They target companies with sustained growth and which have products and/or services that are market-share takers. Elk Creek's SMID-Cap Growth strategy is a direct extension of the Small-Cap strategy. The SMID Cap Growth strategy concentrates in stocks with a market-cap of $1 billion to $10 billion and with portfolio characteristics similar to the Russell 2500 Growth Index. The process implemented in the SMID-Cap strategy is the same as the Small-Cap strategy in both buying and selling individual stocks. The firm's Mid-Cap Growth strategy is a direct extension of the Small- and SMID-Cap Growth strategies. The Mid-Cap Growth strategy concentrates in stocks with a market-cap of $2 billion to $12 billion and with portfolio characteristics similar to the Russell Mid-Cap Growth Index. The process implemented in the Mid-Cap strategy is the same as the Small-Cap strategy in both buying and selling individual stocks. ^
