US Core Equity SMA

Proprietary portfolio consisting of high-quality firms with well-established, durable competitive moats and exposure to key long-term trends. We strive to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns over a full market cycle.

Advantages of an SMA Portfolio vs. an Index

Individual equities allow for a tax-efficient strategy (tax loss harvesting and charitable gifting) as well as the ability to factor tilt as needed (growth, value, momentum, etc).

US Core Equity Investment Philosophy

Focus on Companies With:

Secular Tailwinds - long-term growth trends that supersede market cycles

Competitive Advantage - unique attributes that differentiate a company from competitors to provide long-lasting returns

Financial Strength - ability to withstand poor economic conditions and excel in strong markets

Consistent Management - strong execution for shareholders

Reasonable Valuation - room for upside in strong markets and downside protection in down markets
