Investment Philosophy

We take a bottom-up approach to value investing, selecting securities based on economic value added (EVA). This lets us choose companies that are leaders in their respective sectors. The securities chosen for our portfolios reflect the strength and stability of these companies’ operations.

Return on capital greater than cost
Price below intrinsic value (P/IV)
Dividend stability and/or growth
Adequate liquidity ratios
An acceptable level of debt

Our disciplined approach to asset allocation results in:

Minimum volatility
Maximized risk-return ratios
Securities selected based on EVA
