Ed Nicklin		“Ours is an event-driven, earnings-focused investment philosophy through which corporate value is assessed. Attractive opportunities should have the potential to provide a significant return in two years.”
		Westport Fund

Nicklin, Jr. depends on the dynamics of an event-driven, earnings-focused strategy to identify companies that are selling at an attractive discount relative to their potential within a two-year investment horizon.
