STRATEGY

The stock selection process is based on analysis of profitable companies utilizing strict equity price to free cash flow guidelines. Relationships of free cash flow to the multiple of free cash flow are measured to determine whether the stock makes it into the portfolio. Stocks are selected based on historic low price to free cash flow relationships.

In structuring the portfolio, risk (BETA) is reduced in various ways. Specifically, equities are purchased in pairs of low correlating asset classes as measured by historical price to free cash flow returns and its impact on the equity price.

Further, the buying focus is on equities in bullish sectors of U.S. markets. This discipline forces the purchase of equities that benefit from larger market and economic trends.

As equities are identified, further technical and weighting indicators are then applied. This enhances the fundamental analysis by adding a critical timing element to the buy/sell equation.
