GuruFocus is very glad to announce the addition of Sarah Ketterer into our List of Gurus. She is the first woman in our List of Gurus.


Ms. Ketterer is the Chief Executive Officer of Causeway since June 2001. Her firm manages more than $15 billion as of May, 2008. She is responsible for investment research in global financials and healthcare. Prior Experience From November 1996 to June 2001, Ms. Ketterer worked for the Hotchkis and Wiley division of Merrill Lynch Investment Managers ("HW-MLIM"). At HW-MLIM, she was a Managing Director and co-head of the firm's HW-MLIM International and Global Value team. Education Ms. Ketterer has a BA in Economics and Political Science from Stanford University and an MBA from the Amos Tuck School , Dartmouth College .


Sarah Ketterer focuses on global equities: International , global, and emerging market. She and her team begin with a screen of both large and mid-sized companies in the developed international markets. Their screens are applied to approximately 3,400 companies and use quantitative and value-oriented methods to find prospective stocks that meet their criteria for further analysis. Each stock also receives a "risk score" based on the additional volatility/risk it adds to the portfolio. Their final portfolio is built from those stocks with the highest expected risk-adjusted return. It will typically have 60-80 stocks that have a lower price/earnings ratio and higher dividend yield than the market.


We have updated her portfolio as of 03/31/2008 . She owns 81 stocks with total value of about $323.9 million. This portfolio does not cover other international holdings she may have, as she is not required to report these holdings.
