Morningstar's Take by Susan Wasserman 04-18-16 Conestoga Small Cap’s 0.8% loss over the past year through March 2016 may not impress at first glance, but that showing fared much better than the 11.8% loss of its small-cap growth benchmark--the Russell 2000 Growth Index. Plus, it is a welcomed turnaround after a rough 2014. The recent success builds upon the fund's legacy of strong returns and tempered volatility going back to its 2002 inception. The impressive long-term record comes from a tenured team that sticks to a proven process, earning the fund a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Silver. Management’s longer-term outlook and patient approach drive the fund’s success. Comanagers Joseph Monahan and Robert Mitchell, along with three analysts, scour the small-cap universe for stocks that they believe will appreciate at least 100% over a three- to five-year period. They pay particular attention to companies with strong earnings growth, high return on equity, low debt/ capitalization, and significant management ownership. The team goes beyond these fundamental metrics, seeking to understand a company’s strategy and management’s execution success. This measured
approach translates to a relatively concentrated portfolio of 45-50 stocks that has remained fairly steady, as the fund's annual turnover typically hovers around 20% but fell as low as 12% in 2015. While this approach has rewarded investors over the long run, the fund stumbled in 2014. Subpar stock picks in the heavily weighted technology sector damaged performance. Although the team trimmed shares across most technology picks throughout 2015, the fund maintains a sizable overweighting in the sector. That helped the fund trounce the benchmark in 2015 when the fund posted a 8.0% gain compared with the benchmark’s 1.4% loss. Since its October 2002 inception through March 2016, the fund's 10.6% annualized gain only edges the Russell 2000 Growth's 10.5% return, but it has produced those results with much less volatility. That showing also handily beats the typical small-growth peer.
