The core portfolio consists of stocks that have been selected using bottom up analysis with an emphasis on value and intermediate term growth. Our research includes a combination of in house financial analysis, technical analysis, and independent analyst research. The selected securities that meet our criteria, when combined in the portfolio, results in a core holding with a lower beta than that of the S & P 500, while maintaining a correlative relationship to the widely followed benchmark. Holding periods for these are generally expected to be from one to three year time horizons.
