Investment Approach

We employ fundamental research and active, bottom-up stock selection to construct a portfolio of higher-quality companies, with a focus on stocks  that generate above average income. We favor names featuring compelling valuations, attractive long-term fundamentals, and strong dividend yields.

  • Employ a value-oriented investment approach
  • Focus on companies with an above-average dividend yield – always a positive component of total return. 
  • Utilize a thorough "bottom-up" fundamental research evaluation of each holding.

Actual fees may vary. “Pure” gross returns are presented before the deduction of expenses and all other fees, but may include transaction costs. Returns include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.

Risk Considerations: All investments are subject to risks, including the possible loss of principal. International investments can be riskier than U.S. investments due to the adverse effects of currency exchange rates, differences in market structure and liquidity, as well as specific country, regional, and economic developments. A growth or value approach to investing could cause underperformance as compared to other stock portfolios that employ different investment styles. Growth stocks tend to be more volatile than value stocks and their prices usually fluctuate more dramatically than the overall stock market. The intrinsic value of a stock with value characteristics may not be fully recognized by the market for a long time or a stock judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced at a low level. Fixed income securities are subject to credit risk, liquidity risk, call risk, and interest rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. The municipal bond portfolios will be highly impacted by events tied to the overall municipal securities markets, which can be very volatile and significantly affected by unfavorable legislative or political developments and adverse changes in the financial conditions of municipal securities issuers and the economy.
