A privately-held firm, ARS Investment Partners, LLC (“ARS”) operates as a traditional partnership, advising on approximately $2.2 billion in assets. We view the market as a medium of exchange with inherent inefficiencies, allowing us to seek out uncommon value and the opportunity to deliver absolute returns regardless of market direction. As students of the markets, we act with a conviction borne out of rigorous research. We are investors, not traders, and independent research is fundamental to our work. We assess the economic, social, and political environment, identifying sectors in the economy that we believe will thrive and to which capital will flow. We evaluate companies on an enterprise value basis, as if we were purchasing the entire company, and look for identifiable earnings growth catalysts that can offer significant absolute returns without excessive risk.
