Oberweis Asset Management, Inc. ("OAM") is an independent investment management firm that invests in high growth companies around the world. The firm specializes in
Small and Mid Capitalization growth strategies globally for institutional investors and its own proprietary mutual fund family. Established in 1989, OAM is headquartered in suburban Chicago with a subsidiary Oberweis Asset Management (Asia) Limited ("OAMA") licensed and located in Hong Kong.
OAM believes that investing in rapidly growing small companies in the early stages of their growth cycles results in superior investment performance over long periods of time. We believe that innovation is the key to economic growth and wealth creation and are committed to investing in companies at the forefront of innovation – smaller company stocks that offer the potential for extraordinary revenue and earnings growth.
For nearly 20 years, we have focused exclusively on these companies, seeking opportunities where rapid change is driving growth and the potential for superior investment results over the long-term. Our time-tested and proprietary Oberweis Octagon is a specific research framework that allows us to quickly identify and understand the companies driving innovation in the global economy.
The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well at these companies. Many are nimble and uniquely address the needs of their customers with patented new products and services. Successful investing, however, demands more than finding companies with good growth prospects. We must also buy these stocks for our clients at prices that make sense. We call our approach to investing AGARP---aggressive growth at a reasonable price. By paying careful attention to companies’ valuations in relation to expected earnings growth rates, we seek to purchase stocks when they still have considerable appreciation potential.
