Neglect
Especially in its early stages, change tends to be greeted with uncertainty, expressed as investor neglect - manifested through behavioral finance, low analytical coverage, negative to neutral stock ratings and low institutional ownership.
Valuation
When change meets neglect, the intrinsic value of a company may exceed the current stock price. At the intersection of change and neglect with attractive valuation, CRM seeks the potential for substantial outperformance with lower downside risk. The conviction to invest before the rewards of change are realized requires an investment process grounded in intensive original research.

CRM Small Cap Value Performance Recap Beta Remained a Consistent Theme
The CRM Small Cap Value portfolio generally participated on the upside during the fourth quarter. The highest beta stocks were again top performers. As we continue to focus on risk-adjusted returns, our lack of exposure to the highest beta segment of the benchmark was a consistent headwind throughout the year. Highest beta constituents as top performers in 4Q12

We remain confident that the investment climate will continue to improve post resolving the current fiscal concerns. Valuations are clearly higher than one year ago as market returns exceeded earnings growth, but multiples remain subdued relative to interest rates. Any reasonable re-acceleration in earnings growth will likely be paired with yet higher multiples which could produce returns similar to 2012 for the next couple of years or until such time as monetary policy becomes less accommodative. Companies have plenty of cash on their balance sheets which could pave the way for M&A activity to return and provide additional catalyst for our style of investing. CRM had a number of holdings involved in M&A across many of strategies in 2012 which was encouraging. Breadth should narrow as earnings expectations are reset and this is typically a better environment for fundamental active investors like us. We continue to find ample opportunities and will continue to be nimble, harvesting and adding to take advantage of any volatility.

Investing With Clarity for Over Three Decades History of the Firm
Cramer Rosenthal McGlynn is a leading value manager. We believe our track record, spanning almost 40 years, is testament to our success in serving clients and providing strong investment performance. Clients benefit from consistent application of one cohesive philosophy and process, implemented by a team with diverse experience in appraising the intrinsic value of companies. CRMs founding partners, Gerry Cramer, Ed Rosenthal and Ron McGlynn, met in the 1970s. Sharing a fascination for investing in changing companies neglected by other investors, they founded CRM in 1973 as a value investment specialist. To implement their vision, they created an investment process designed to capitalize on the returns and minimize the risks inherent in changing companies. After the painful market decline of 1973-1974, many investors lost interest in stocks, creating a climate of neglect. The challenges of the early 1970s led the founders of our firm to formulate the rationale for investing we follow today. They saw firsthand the opportunities inherent in companies experiencing change while operating in an environment of low investor expectations. While inspired by personal experience, the validity of CRMs strategy is supported by numerous academic studies dating from the genesis of the modern stock market to the present. By the early 1980s, the success of CRMs investment process led to several positive developments. Our track record attracted institutional clients, helping our firm to grow assets under management and build resources. Jay Abramson joined the firm, and over time expanded our team of talented research analysts. The advent of institutional investors and a new generation of talent in turn brought improvements to the investment process. Specifically, we developed more in-depth approaches to due diligence and formalized valuation techniques. What began as a collective gleam in three investors eyes has turned into an investment company with a 39-year track record based on a proven investment process. While we have grown as an organization, we nonetheless remain true to our entrepreneurial origins, evident in the shared excitement with which analysts team up to pursue a new opportunity.
