“Detective Work” – On the Road With First Wilshire

We love rolling up our sleeves and conducting in-depth research on a company: its management, its competitors, its customers, and its future prospects. In many cases, we kick the tires, going above and beyond information readily available on the internet and in public financial filings. 

These efforts can be labor-intensive and time-consuming, but at the same time, rewarding. Small companies are often ignored by the investment community, and sometimes we could be the first institutional investor to visit in many quarters or even years.
