Companies	Position	Start
Towle & Co. Towle & Co. Investment ManagersFinance Towle seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation by executing a long-only, deep value equity strategy that emphasizes the purchase of companies believed to be substantially undervalued relative to their earnings power and private market worth. Their bottom-up, security selection process aims to capture positive volatility by identifying and investing in out-of-favor companies where they have identified significant appreciation potential. Paramount to this endeavor is a contrarian and independent viewpoint. No attempt is made to manage against the composition of a benchmark, and the strategy is market cap agnostic. Investments are generally made in industries such as manufacturing, distribution, consumer products, transportation, and energy, among others. Towle does not invest in tobacco, liquor, or gaming companies.	Analyst-Equity	01/07/2013
