Interview Highlights: Eric Hewitt of OppenheimerFunds on Investing Strategies

August 16, 2016

Eric Hewitt discusses OppenheimerFunds and the Oppenheimer Small Cap Value Fund. Mr. Hewitt is a bottom-up stock-specific manager. His underlying philosophy is to find an unanticipated acceleration in return on invested capital. When identifying a potential investment, Mr. Hewitt looks for one of three things: the company’s ability to improve sales, to improve margins or to make capital structure changes with a positive impact on return on invested capital. In addition, he examines a company’s income statements and talks with its management team to get a view into the company’s dividend policy. Mr. Hewitt believes this gives him a more accurate insight into the fundamentals of a business.
