The Emerald Groundhog Day Investment Forum
marks its 22nd annual event on February 5th in Philadelphia, PA
with over 20 companies scheduled to present.
Emerald Asset Management, Inc. will welcome hundreds of
investment industry professionals to the 22nd annual Emerald
Groundhog Day Investment Forum, scheduled to be held on Thursday,
February 5th at the Radisson Blu Warwick Hotel in Philadelphia, PA.
“Each year we say that the investment year begins in earnest with
our annual Forum,” said Emerald CEO and Founder Joseph E. Besecker.
“This year with increased market volatility and an uncertain
economic outlook, hearing directly from corporate leaders and our
team of analysts and portfolio managers is even more imperative,”
he said. Public company senior managers, investment portfolio
managers and research analysts come together to review 2014 and
provide their initial outlook to 2015 and beyond. This year’s Forum
will include sessions focusing on cyber security, advances in
biotechnology, community and regional banks, income-oriented and
alternative investments and ongoing innovations by corporate
America generating potential investment opportunities.
The first Emerald Groundhog Day Investment Forum was held in
1994 and has grown to become the definitive kick-off conference for
investors focusing on small- and mid-cap companies. This year
senior executives from over twenty public and private companies and
Emerald are scheduled to present, including Emerald’s “Outlook for
Growth - 2015.” “The U.S. economy has thus far avoided much of the
malaise affecting other global economies,” said Emerald Director of
Research Joseph W. Garner. “Will our leadership continue? The Forum
provides a great chance to hear how presenting companies are
positioned moving forward and what they are seeing in terms of
growth and opportunities,” he said.
Presenting companies are scheduled to include: Actua Corp.
(ACTA), Alnylam Pharmaceuticals (ALNY), Apogee Enterprises (APOG),
Aqua America (WTR), Bryn Mawr Bank Corp. (BMTC), Customers Bancorp
(CUBI), EPAM Systems (EPAM), GSV Capital (GSVC), Inovio
Pharmaceuticals (INO), Marinus Pharmaceuticals (MRNS), Matthews
International (MATW), Quaker Chemical (KWR), Royal Bancshares of
