Companies undergoing change may have new products, processes, strategies, management, or may be subjected to change by external forces. Perkins Capital Management uses a combination of both fundamental and technical analysis in its quest to uncover investment opportunities. Perkins wants to have a good understanding of what companies do and to know who's running them. This investment style can best be described as bottom-up investing, as opposed to the top-down style of following general market trends. The Perkins Discovery Fund uses this approach to focus on micro-cap companies. While investing in smaller companies may involve greater risks, companies fitting these criteria present an opportunity to achieve superior returns because they are not well known to the investing public.

Perkins is as professionally run fund and the managers are dedicated to making a profit that is truly mutual to both the fund as well as the client.
