NEW YORK, April 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Dalton, Greiner, Hartman, Maher & Co., LLC announces the addition of DGHM AllCap Value ESG to the firm's suite of US value strategies. The strategy launched today with initial seed capital from the DGHM team.

As with all of DGHM's products, AllCap Value ESG will capitalize on the best ideas generated through the ongoing fundamental research of the firm's ten Sector Specialists. Donald Porter, CFA will be the Team Leader in this collective effort.

"We are excited about our new endeavor," says DGHM CEO Bruce Geller. "As a boutique investment firm, we believe that it is important to innovate, but it is equally important to do so in a way that is complementary to our core competencies. The DGHM AllCap Value ESG product satisfies both tests."

The fund will invest in 30 to 40 equity securities across the market capitalization spectrum, and will eliminate companies that derive the majority of their revenues from tobacco, gambling, consumer firearms, adult entertainment, and alcohol, while using an internal scoring methodology to further improve the portfolio's overall ESG profile and eliminate, reweight, or substitute for poorly rated companies.

Further information about DGHM's ESG principles and process can be found at www.dghm.com/ESG.
