The value of investing for the long term, since 1996
Honest, Rational, Disciplined.
These are the principles that we live by.
We focus on growing our clients’ wealth by compounding long-term after-tax returns while emphasizing capital preservation.
Client First Orientation
We work with each client individually, structuring a portfolio of stocks and bonds that respects their needs while attaining their goals. We are not driven by a marketing department seeking to place the latest strategy in clients’ portfolios. Full transparency is always provided including quarterly portfolio analysis. Monthly statements and transaction confirmations are provided by the independent custodian holding your assets.
Absolute Return Focus
We choose to invest in those companies which we believe offer the greatest long-term potential when they are priced attractively, without concern for how they may benchmark in the short-term to an arbitrary index. Emotional market swings and mindless algorithmic trading may dominate moment to moment market reports but have little to do with the long-term performance of a company’s shares.
Intrinsic Value
We understand the difference between price and value. We are long–term investors in equity (stocks) of businesses with strong operating fundamentals and capable managements when their shares can be purchased at a discount to their intrinsic value. We believe that the price of a company’s shares is ultimately driven by its economic value, not by market mechanisms. “Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.”
