  • In focusing on preserving capital in protracted declining markets without giving up real rates of return in advancing markets as the true way to create and preserve wealth.
  • In a disciplined and consistently applied investment process that is client friendly, easily implemented and understood, with cost effective management fees and low portfolio turnover.
  • Economy, simplicity and reliability in an investment strategy enhance the likelihood of success.
  • In achieving returns less volatile than the major market indexes with higher returns.
  • In a quantitative value oriented defensive process that is free from the individual bias of research analysts and/or portfolio managers.
