Investment Philosophy
What We Believe
- Investors covet consistent, predictable, and superior performance.
- The market is efficient, but pockets of inefficiency exist.
- Investment success is a function of the ability to capitalize on these inefficiencies through an accurate assessment of the present value of future change.
- Relative outperformance is a function of a proactive, forward-looking approach.
What We Look For
![triangle_down](/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/triangle_down.png)
- Stocks possessing a combination of the following offer the highest probability of future outperformance:
- Financial strength
- High free cash flow generation
- Growing dividends
- Improving dynamics
How We Do It
![triangle_down](/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/triangle_down.png)
- Extensive bottom-up, fundamental research leads to more consistent identification of those stocks
- Consistent outperformance is a function of proactive asset allocation, superior stock selection, and disciplined portfolio construction
- Mitigate risk through a structured sell discipline
Risk Control
Our three-tiered approach to risk management helps us match your portfolio to your risk comfort level.
Asset Allocation
Asset allocation is your first line of defense against market risk. Your investments should reflect who you are. If you have a higher risk tolerance, then your portfolio will reflect that through higher stock holdings and expected returns. If you are a more conservative investor, we’ll adjust accordingly. It’s all about what you’re comfortable with.
Diversification
We are strong believers in the power of diversification when it comes to controlling risk. Our portfolios typically hold positions representing most economic sectors.
Stock Selection
Our stock selection process combines fundamental research, quantitative modeling, and technical analysis to choose stocks that we believe have the greatest potential. While we do everything we can to control it, risk is an essential part of investing that we believe cannot be avoided with any measure of consistency. Therefore, we do not engage in market timing, as the evidence has proven it to be largely unsuccessful over long periods of time.
