It incorporates the concepts of value creation and competitive strategy analysis. #3 The disappointing performance of professionally managed funds is not an indictment of active management, but rather reflects the suboptimal strategies used by many active professionals. #4 Expectations investing draws from finance theory to pinpoint the market's expectations.
