1919 Portfolio Management Approach

We believe our investment approach and individual security selections deliver comprehensive portfolio solutions with a number of unique benefits:

  • Tailored solutions that incorporate thoughtful insight, investment quality, tax efficiency and appropriate vehicles that match our client’s specific values and goals.
  • A focus on high quality investments facilitates longer-term preservation of capital and helps to avoid the permanent impairment of capital.
  • Use of individual securities, institutional share class mutual funds and/or extremely low-cost index funds allows more transparency, risk control and adherence to investment policy guidelines.
  • Active management and opportunistic diversification across asset classes, sectors and styles with low correlations offers the potential to optimize returns while minimizing risk.
  • Proprietary fundamental research and independent thinking help to avoid the pitfalls of crowd psychology and the conflicts of interest that plague the investment industry.
  • Applying investment disciplines across all investment styles brings consistency and control to the investment process and is an integral aspect of risk management.
