Aviance Capital Management believes that superior equity returns are not driven simply by a company’s earnings performance, but by how well a company performs against investors’ expectations. Stock market participants are constantly attempting to assess a company’s future earnings, and value its stock to eliminate exceptional returns.

In order to achieve market outperformance, an investment manager must discover inaccurate assessments of future earnings performance.

Disciplined Growth attempts to generate superior returns by discovering the most probable mismatches between stock market expectations and future earnings growth.

We use a blend of sophisticated quantitative screening and research team expertise to drive stock selection and sector allocations.

Our screening system looks at multiple factors designed to find those securities with the highest probability of incorrect expectations.

We don’t look simply for high earnings growth, we seek to find companies whose earnings growth will exceed Wall Street expectations. Our screen imposes a tight valuation discipline; we believe that lower valuations act as a proxy for the modest expectations that we seek. Our process creates a strong sell discipline, as we constantly replace stocks whose expectations have caught up to -- or exceeded -- our fundamental outlook.

This constant replenishment process enables us to avoid the “blow ups”, those stocks that decline precipitously when they report earnings that don’t live up to Wall Street expectations.

The strategy is available in the open-end mutual fund Landmark Capital Disciplined Growth Fund, symbol LCDGX.
