More Information on Partha Mohanram
About Partha Mohanram: Sometimes the best investing strategies don’t come from the world of investing. Sometimes research that changes the investing world can come from the halls of academia. Partha Mohanram is a great example of this. While academic research has shown that value investing works over time, it has found the opposite for growth investing. Mohanram turned that research on its head by developing a growth model that produced significant market outperformance. His research paper “Separating Winners from Losers among Low Book-to-Market Stocks using Financial Statement Analysis” looked at the criteria that can be used to separate growth stocks that continue their upward trajectory from those that don’t. Mohanram is currently the John H. Watson Chair in Value Investing at the University of Toronto and was previously an Associate Professor at the Columbia Business School.
