Our Philosophy
AS TRADITIONAL VALUE INVESTORS, WE BELIEVE THAT:
Focusing on high quality companies that are undervalued for transitory reasons can lead to above average returns.
Temporarily out of favor (neglected) industries are fertile ground for finding appealing long-term investment opportunities.
Risk-adjusted performance can be enhanced by emphasizing stocks which exhibit the best risk/reward relationship (limited downside risk with meaningful upside potential).
