Investment Process
Beginning with the 1,000 largest companies based on market capitalization, the Large Cap Investment Team performs both thorough quantitative analysis and rigorous fundamental qualitative analysis that includes:

  • Screening through a proprietary valuation model
  • Meetings with management
  • Conversations with employees, customers, suppliers, competitors and consultants

Sell Discipline
Our sell discipline is as important as our buying strategy. The portfolio undergoes continuous monitoring and risk management evaluation by the large cap investment team. We consider for full or partial sale any stock that has

  • Met our sell target
  • Fundamentally changed
  • Shown strong price appreciation

Securities may also be sold to fund better opportunities. This ongoing process assures that the portfolio stays true to our market capitalization while minimizing risk for our clients.
