Leveraging/Analysis of 13F Micro-Cap Value Institutions



My analysis begins with recent 13Fs for the following successful micro-cap value institutions; Royce, Heartland, Ariel, Kennedy, and Tieton. Before I share my initial approach. See the informative links on their philosophy for picking stocks.

One discovery approach is to measure the institution's idea conviction. For this post I took total capital expended on each stock  using recent 13F. Then calculated as a percentage to the aggregated dollar value and dollar change. This ratio along with other variations used to uncover anomalies of conviction.

For example
Amount purchased for each stock in the 13F this quarter / $ amount of the entire institutional portfolio by quarterly $ change or total $ value held. And various permutations.


These are a few findings . The first cut eliminated stocks above 300M for all 5 institutional 13F reports.
