Lebenthal Asset Management's (LAM) equity strategy focuses on a broad range of equity investment styles including growth, core, and value, as well as portfolios designed to be style-neutral. Some client accounts focus on specific ranges on the capitalization scale, from micro-cap through mega-cap. Others focus on investment opportunities in more than one capitalization category or across all capitalization levels. In addition, LAM manages client accounts that are global, multi-national, or focused on particular geographic regions or specific countries. LAM engages in a buy and hold investment strategy in which they buy securities and hold them for a relatively longer period of time, regardless of short-term factors such as market fluctuations or volatile stock prices. They employ a fundamental value strategy that seeks to invest in asset-oriented securities believed to be undervalued by the market. The firm engages in a global macro investing strategy that attempts to anticipate global macroeconomic events using discretionary selection, pre-determined mathematical trading models or a combination of both. LAM's capital growth investment strategy seeks to invest in securities of companies whose earnings are expected to grow at an above-average rate as compared to their specific industry or the overall market. LAM utilizes a variety of financial instruments such as derivatives, options, interest rate swaps, caps and floors, ETFs, futures and forward contracts for risk management purposes. They occasionally employ the use of leverage. The firm engages in various option trading investment strategies including writing covered calls, buying calls and buying naked puts. LAM also engages in short selling strategies as a form of hedging to offset potential declines in long positions in similar securities, to maintain flexibility and for profit.
