Kalmar Investments, Inc. Kalmar Investments, Inc. Investment ManagersFinance Kalmar Investments' focuses on discretionary management of long-only, separately managed equity portfolios for the firm’s clients. The firm manages client investment portfolios in a growth company investment style that the firm refers to as “Growth-with-Value”. This investment style is offered in three distinct investment offerings/strategies: Small Cap, SMid Cap, and Mid Cap portfolios. Portfolios are well diversified and are predominantly comprised of U.S. based businesses whose common stocks are actively traded on public exchanges in the U.S. Kalmar's investment strategies are driven primarily by their proprietary bottom-up, fundamental investment approach. This research seeks to identify: (1) good businesses that are expected to improve the quality of their business characteristics; (2) business that are expected to sustain future revenue and earnings growth rates over the next two years or more that are substantially greater than the broad rate of economic growth; and (3) businesses that have stocks trading at valuation levels that Kalmar believes can expand over a two-year or longer investment horizon if the business value of the enterprise grows as expected.
