We are an international asset management company. Our investment approach is driven by a combination of rigorous fundamental research and advanced quantitative analysis. To identify the very best investment ideas, we rely on extensive research and, where possible, on in depth interviews with company executives. We apply the highest academic standards in our investments. We invest across asset classes to deliver the best possible risk-adjusted investment results. Although we diversify our exposure, we believe that the best way to reduce risk is to thoroughly assess each investment with top notch research. Our portfolio is generally composed of no more than 10-15 companies.
Our investment strategy is a mix of growth at a reasonable price (GARP) and Value investing. We are looking for companies that have a sustainable competitive advantage, a shareholder-friendly management, a robust return on equity, a safe balance sheet, and, of course, that can be acquired at the right price. We invest in solid businesses, priced attractively and that can offer robust risk-adjusted returns.

Vitaly Katsenelson, CFA is the Chief Investment Officer at Investment Management Associates, Inc (IMA), a value investment firm based in Denver, Colorado. After I received my graduate and undergraduate degrees in finance (cum laude) from the University of Colorado at Denver, and finished my CFA designation (three years of my life that are a vague recollection at this point), I wanted to keep learning. I figured the best way to learn is to teach. At first I taught an undergraduate class at the University of Colorado at Denver and later a graduate investment class at the same university that I designed based on my day job. Currently I am on sabbatical from teaching for a while.
I’ve written articles for the Financial Times, Barron’s, BusinessWeek, Christian Science Monitor, New York Post, Institutional Investor … and the list goes on.
I was profiled in Barron’s, and have been interviewed by Value Investor Insight, Welling@Weeden, BusinessWeek, BNN, CNBC, and countless radio shows.
I’ve authored the Little Book of Sideways Markets (Wiley, 2010) and Active Value Investing (Wiley, 2007).
