The principle objective is to provide growth of capital while minimizing volatility through investment in a combination of equities and income securities, while maintaining an opportunistic outlook for unique investment situations. Using a common sense businesslike approach, our core belief is that return is generated through company earnings, not stock trading; thus turnover is limited.
Emphasis is placed on equities trading at values of under two-thirds of the general market, that also have annuity stream revenues with lower debt and higher dividends. This results in a portfolio concentrated on fewer sectors of the overall economy such as food, drugs, utilities and financial services. Income is achieved through many avenues: investments in conventional government and corporate bonds, as well as preferred, convertible and broken convertible securities.
