Financial Services

Focusing on the financial service and real estate sectors, this portfolio employs a bottom-up approach, conducting detailed financial statement analysis with valuation techniques. Invests in companies with stable dividends that are trading at a discount to fair market value. The model has a target minimum yield of 3%.
Analyzes opportunities in the financial services sector, including REITs, focusing on institutions with favorable balance sheets and cash flow statements in order to support a stable dividend and capital appreciation. Also contributing to the stable dividend is a blend of common and preferred equities which are trading at a discount to fair market value.
Utilizing a bottom-up approach, the model screens securities through research including newspapers, investment blogs and online forums. Once screened, the model conducts in-depth analysis of the 10-K, 10-Q, letters to shareholders and conference calls. Particular emphasis is placed on management philosophy.
The model will range from 5 to 15 positions. Initially, each position will be 5-10% of the model with the best opportunities as high as 25% of the model. Looks to buy positions at a minimum of 15% discount to intrinsic value based on his internal estimates.
Aims to sell positions as they reach a targeted intrinsic value. Targeted returns are 10-15% per annum. Will consider averaging down in a confident investment and will liquidate positions where material changes have affected the underlying value of the security.
Occasionally will invest in special situation opportunities that provide the appropriate risk/reward characteristics.
