In today's Information Age, the convergence of computing technologies, media content, and communication networks is increasingly evident. We believe that our deep familiarity with each of the various TMT sub-sectors (i.e. advertising, broadcasting, cable distribution, wireless handsets, e-commerce, semiconductors, etc.) leads to informed insights across the entire TMT universe. Van Dien's investment manager, Kent Blair, has leveraged these synergies as a TMT analyst for nearly twenty years.
We also understand how the daily information flow affects the global equity markets. Armed with extensive relationships throughout the TMT investment field, we strive to not only stay current, but to also anticipate where fundamental change will take place. This ongoing process of information analysis should allow for superior investment decision-making and higher returns over various market cycles.
