Westpark invests in companies in non-commodity industries with dynamic growth prospects and market leading potential. They generally look for companies with a market cap of $300 million to $1.5 billion, that are underfollowed, that have improving fundamentals and that have accomplished management teams. Their index-based hedging strategy shorts ETFs based on market conditions and employs an OEX put-spread strategy. They also short individual positions that have declining fundamentals with flawed business models, high valuations and aggressive accounting. Westpark's bottom-up fundamental analysis seeks companies with improving profitability, high quality of earnings, appropriate leverage and capital structure and positive cash flow with above-average ROIC.
