Vaughan Nelson’s Mid Cap philosophy looks for temporary information and liquidity inefficiencies in the mid cap universe; therefore, providing opportunities to invest in companies at valuations materially below their long-term intrinsic value.

The firm believes fundamental research, investment focus, broad perspective, and a team environment all contribute to its ability to try to deliver consistent performance. The most important aspect to its investment philosophy is research and new idea generation. Vaughan Nelson’s teams are staffed by experienced, motivated individuals whose compensation is tied to long-term performance. Vaughan Nelson utilizes a disciplined valuation methodology combined with fundamental research to take advantage of the inefficiencies inherent in the mid cap universe.
