Burkenroad Reports are widely circulated financial reports on small- to medium-sized companies around the Gulf Coast that are traditionally under-followed by bulge bracket stock analysts. Colloquially the Burkenroad-followed companies are referred to as "stocks under rocks".[1] The reports are published by the Freeman School of Business at Tulane University. Under faculty supervision, students work in small groups to produce the reports after visiting companies and interviewing top management. This procedure gives students the opportunity to develop practical stock analysis skills.

History

Burkenroad reports was founded by Peter Ricchiuti in 1993.[2] Since its founding, the reports have gained national attention for their "quality and for avoiding the conflicts inherent when analysts follow a company in which they have financial stake" (Wall Street Journal, October, 1995). Over 40 company reports have been published since the project's inception. Twenty-one companies under Burkenroad coverage have been taken over since 1993.[3] The Latin American expansion of the program began in 2001. Later in 2001, The Burkenroad Mutual Fund went live.[4] There are over 400 Burkenroad Reports Tulane alumni in the investment industry.[3] These alumni are colloquially jokingly referred to as "Burkendorks," in reference to their attention to detail and dedication to accurate reporting.[citation needed]

Annual conference

Burkenroad Reports has hosted public investment conferences in New Orleans. The Burkenroad annual conference gives an opportunity for individual and institutional investors to hear directly from top management of Burkenroad-covered companies. The event also provides a forum for students, alumni, and business managers to network with one another.[citation needed]

Mutual fund

The Burkenroad Mutual Fund (HHBUX is the ticker symbol for the load fund and HYBUX is the ticker symbol for the no-load fund), is managed by Hancock Bank. Hancock’s investment managers utilize the Burkenroad Reports as well as other sources, and the fund is primarily composed of stocks followed by the Burkenroad program. Since inception (12/31/01) the fund has outperformed about 94% of domestic equity mutual funds and has significantly outpaced both the Russell 2000 and S&P 500 indexes,[4] although appropriate risk adjustments need to be made.

Latin America expansion

The Latin American expansion of the Burkenroad Reports started in 2001 when the Inter-American Development Bank issued a grant for the project.[5] Tulane University works in conjunction with universities in Mexico,[6] Venezuela, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador to provide reports of companies in Latin America. Universities in Guatemala and Ecuador also have plans to participate.[7] The Latin American Burkenroad Reports are provided for free in Spanish and English (click here to access).
