Research approach

The Henry Fund utilizes a top-down approach to research that integrates economic, industry, and company analysis. Analysts employ a variety of valuation techniques including discounted cash flow (DCF), economic value added (EVA), relative multiples (P/E, P/B, EV/EBITDA ratio), and fundamental multiple (DDM) analysis. Finally, all models are sensitivity tested against critical assumptions.
