Baker 500 Baker 500 Investment ManagersFinance Baker 500's investment approach is based on the belief that earnings growth drives stock prices. Their investment process seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in a focused portfolio of high-quality equities that exceeds the market in all conditions. The firm employs a disciplined and systematic approach that involves micro and macro analysis. The Baker 500 individual security selection process begins with a quantitative screening process that evaluates each of the stocks listed in the S&P 500 index. The result is a working universe of securities that qualify for inclusion in the portfolio. The group is further refined, using higher level screening techniques to produce a final target list. Subjective criteria results in a focused portfolio usually comprised of stocks spread across several industries to achieve diversification. The firm's evaluation of the macroeconomic environment includes research from internal and external sources. It is driven by the combination of fundamental and technical disciplines. The process overweights the evaluation of the cyclical character of economic and financial market behaviors. Key components include Federal Reserve policy as it relates to the growth of money and credit, the prospects for price stability, outlook for interest rates, macroeconomic growth factors as well as the prospects for specific market sectors, global economic conditions and other factors. Their buy decisions are based on earnings acceleration, price momentum, sustainable growth and industry leaders. Baker 500's traditional investment products typically hold securities that exhibit dramatic earnings acceleration and sustainable growth. The Baker 500 Growth Fund seeks long-term capital growth and appreciation by investing in a focused portfolio of large, high-quality, multi-national companies whose stocks demonstrate earnings, acceleration and sustainable growth. The firm also offers the Baker Elite Portfolios (conservative, moderate and aggressive) and alternative investments through their hedge fund.	Portfolio Manager-Equities	01/04/2008
