Southernsun Asset Management

SouthernSun Asset Management, established in 1989, is a research-driven investment management firm implementing concentrated U.S. Small Cap and SMID Cap investment strategies. Our name reflects a commitment to shed light on investment opportunities both at home and around the globe—a commitment that has driven our work throughout our history. We invest with a long-term time horizon in niche-dominant, attractively valued companies with financial flexibility and well-fitted management teams. We believe careful, in-depth analysis of a company’s financial strength, market position, and human capital is the most comprehensive method of assigning proper valuations, identifying opportunities, and reducing the risk of investment. We believe there is no substitute for knowing each company we invest in as if we own the entire company. This approach compels us to be thorough, diligent, and patient in our study of each individual company. An integral part of this process is knowing management and viewing the company “through the eyes of its management team” as well as an objective outside investor. While our roots are proudly established in Memphis, we travel around the globe to seek out the information we need to make sound investment decisions.
