Summary

Westwood Quality SmallCap’s recent reduction in full team count and a new team structure lead to a People rating downgrade to Average from Above Average. Still, its longtime portfolio manager and enough experienced analysts remain for this strategy to effectively ply its research-heavy process and return to form, depending on fees.
