Essex Investment Management Company, LLC

Investment Discipline

Essex Investment Management Company, LLC ("Essex") is a Boston and Chicago-based investment management firm which specializes in growth equity investments on behalf of institutional and private clients. Essex offers a range of growth equity strategies and employs proprietary fundamental research combined with active portfolio management. Essex believes that a company's price performance is driven by its revenue growth, future profitability, and cash flow. By understanding the factors that determine a company's growth and profitability, the firm is better able to anticipate inflection points in a company's performance before it is fully reflected in the stock price. While stock selection is the primary driver of the firm's investment strategy, Essex also invests in companies it believes will benefit from secular changes or common themes. The firm executes its sell discipline when it anticipates a company's loss of proprietary or dominant position, a better investment opportunity or it anticipates earnings deceleration, disappointment or quality breakdown.

The Firm

Founded in 1976, the firm is led by its Management Committee consisting of Chief Executive Officer Christopher P. McConnell, and Managing Principals Joseph C. McNay and Stephen D. Cutler.

Essex's diversified client base includes corporate accounts, endowments, foundations, public funds, Taft-Hartley funds, mutual funds and private clients.
