Main investment strategies
|
We invest primarily in common stocks of companies that we believe have long-term capital appreciation potential and are expected to grow faster than the U.S. economy. We consider companies of any size or market capitalization. Using a bottom-up approach, we seek to select securities we believe have large-end market potential or dominance of a profitable niche market, dominant business models and strong free cash flow generation that are attractively priced compared to the intrinsic value of the securities. We also consider a company's operational efficiencies, management's plans for capital allocation, and the company's shareholder orientation.
