### About Partha Mohanram
Sometimes, the best investing strategies don’t come directly from the investment world. Instead, groundbreaking research can emerge from academia, shifting how investors approach growth stocks.
Partha Mohanram is a prime example. While traditional academic research supports value investing principles, it often contradicted the success of growth investing. Mohanram challenged this view by developing a growth model that demonstrated significant market outperformance.
His influential paper, *“Separating Winners from Losers among Low Book-to-Market Stocks using Financial Statement Analysis,”* identified financial criteria that can distinguish growth stocks likely to continue their upward trajectory from those that may falter.
Currently, Partha Mohanram holds the John H. Watson Chair in Value Investing at the University of Toronto. He was also formerly an Associate Professor at the Columbia Business School.
