Connors Small Companies

The objective of the Small Companies strategy is to provide returns greater than that of the Russell 2000® over a market cycle.

Firm Small Company History

In the early 1970s, the firm’s principal business activity was publication of “The Connors Report,” a research report on emerging small company growth stocks, which, at its publication peak, had over 1200 national subscribers consisting of brokerage firms and individual advisors.

Connors began managing small company portfolios in 1974. The Small Companies strategy is based upon two, long-held fundamental beliefs:

1. First, that small capitalization equites will continue to be among the highest long-term return asset classes of publicly traded securities.

2. Second, Connors Investor Services, Inc. believes in the ability to capitalize on market inefficiencies through fundamental research due to a lack of broad research coverage by the analytic and institutional community.

The Connors proprietary investment thesis has been continued over the history of the firm. Sine 2004, current portfolio manager, Brian G. McCoy, has been leading the small companies strategy.
