Currently sports a negative enterprise value and is selling for less than it's historical P/B. {P/S is at an all-time low. Great cash position. AUM grew in the most recent quarter. Currently, there is a distaste for equities and institutional outflows have picked up. I'm predicting that once investors lose their infatuation with bonds, CLMS will benefit. In the short-term, this could get cheaper as much their Q3 outperformance was based on margin expansion (unsustainable) and great investment results (can't depend on that either). Short-term volatility will be tempered by the 2.5% div. yield. They have an able management and investment team. I would like to see management have more skin in the game though.
