Investment thesis
The firm follows a single 'Sustainable Growth' investment philosophy, in place since 1958, aimed at generating long-term performance with strong downside protection over multi-generational horizons. It holds that markets overvalue short-term unsustainable growth and undervalue moderate but durable long-term growth, which ultimately drives greater capital appreciation. Believing compounded earnings growth is the most important factor in equity investing, the firm seeks dominant companies in attractive industries with superior earnings growth at reasonable valuations. Strategies span large cap equity, global equity, concentrated growth, international equity, equity income, core fixed income, and balanced portfolios.
