HOLT is a value-based, return on capital framework proprietary to Credit Suisse that provides differentiated investment research. HOLT provides an objective view of over 18,000 companies in 65 countries worldwide using a rigorous methodology that examines accounting information, converts it to cash and then values that cash. The corporate performance framework is the foundation for the HOLT valuation model - an objective, long-term valuation discounted cash flow model. Embedded in the valuation model is a company specific life-cycle framework, which forecasts baseline long-term patterns of change in economic returns and growth, using empirical research on how thousands of companies with similar characteristics have performed in the past.
