Micro Cap Growth Equity

Sterling Johnston’s Micro Cap Growth Equity strategy aims to create a portfolio of micro cap growth companies that can generate positive risk-adjusted rates of return over a full market cycle. Stocks considered for purchase in the Micro Cap Growth Equity product have typical market capitalizations of $50-250 million dollars. Stocks are sold out of micro cap portfolios as they near the $1 billion market cap limit set within the strategy. The product was founded on October 1, 1996.

Typical fees for Sterling's Micro Cap Growth Equity product include both a management and incentive fee. The management fee is equivalent to 0.75% of assets, plus a performance fee computed as 20% of profits above the benchmark Russell Micro Cap Growth index.





Small Cap Growth Equity

The Small Cap Growth Equity product is Sterling's flagship strategy for institutional investors. The firm's founder, Scott Sterling Johnston, has been managing institutional separate accounts in the Small Cap Growth Equity product style since 1976, and has managed accounts for a wide variety of corporate clients, multi-employer plans, and public funds. The product is managed in a strict small capitalization style. Stocks considered for purchase have a typical market capitalization between $250 million and $750 million dollars. Issues are sold as they approach 3% of the portfolio or a market capitalization of more than $2.5 billion. In its present form, the product began management of assets on October 1, 1996.

The typical management fee charged is 1% of assets. This fee is computed quarterly and is payable in arrears. Incentive fees are negotiable.

SMid Cap Growth Equity

The SMid Cap Growth Equity strategy began in December 2003 at the request of a client who was interested in owning stocks that had grown out of the Small Cap Growth Equity strategy’s market capitalization limit. As such, the strategy seeks to avoid security overlap with the Small Cap Growth Equity strategy. The typical market capitalization purchase range for the SMid strategy is $1.5–2.5 billion dollars with a market cap limit of $7.5 billion.

The typical management fee for the SMid Cap Growth Equity strategy is 0.85% of assets. Performance incentive fees are negotiable.
