HFAM is an activist, long-term manager which follows a value-oriented investment approach to target companies which are consistently underperforming as a result of structural or strategic governance issues. The firm invests in a small number of fundamentally sound companies which they believe are not valued to their full potential due to addressable issues where they can help unlock value through engagement. They routinely meet with executive and non-executive directors and shareholders to advocate change from within the company. As a shareholder, HFAM works with their portfolio company boards and shareholders to catalyze changes necessary to improve the company’s long-term value in areas where shareholders have a legitimate role such as strategy and capital allocation, capital structure and governance. The firm holds investments until the market reacts favorably to the changes implemented and the company's stock is repriced. Sell decisions are based on target values.
