John Lemuel Keeley

Keeley Asset Management Corp. is a value manager that seeks long-term, above average capital appreciation in the equity markets while reducing portfolio risk. The firm offers Small-Cap Value and Mid-Cap Value separately managed portfolios for individuals and institutions. They also manage the Keeley funds, a family of open-end, publicly-traded mutual funds. Keeley employs a bottom-up investment approach that focuses on the review of individual company characteristics rather than attempting to forecast broader economic trends. Their strategy is opportunistic and seeks to identify companies that are undergoing internal corporate restructurings. Such situations may include: (1) companies being spun off from their parent company (2) companies emerging from bankruptcy (3) companies trading below book or break-up value with a catalyst (4) mutual savings & loan and insurance conversions and (5) distressed utilities. Keeley prefers to invest in underfollowed companies with long product life cycles and above average potential for long-term earnings and share price growth. Once they have identified such companies, the firm seeks to purchase the companies' stocks at a discount to their assessment of the companies' fair market value.
