Trainer Wortham & Co., Inc.
Trainer Wortham & Co., Inc. Investment ManagersFinance TWC believes the long-term ownership of well-managed growth companies produces superior investment results. It is their belief that a diversified portfolio of growth companies, as well as high quality bonds when appropriate, will provide above average returns over the long term. They seek industry leaders with superior management teams, solid financials and unique competitive advantages. Their diversified growth equity investment strategy employs a disciplined, growth-oriented approach utilizing bottom-up fundamental analysis. Portfolios are comprised of high quality, mid- to large-cap companies with consistent, above-average earnings growth rates and reasonable valuations. TWC seeks companies that are well-managed, financially sound industry leaders with proven track records. They believe that a diversified portfolio of traditional, accelerating and emerging growth companies will provide above-average returns over a full market cycle. TWC's fixed-income strategy involves actively managing portfolios to produce conservative risk-adjusted returns. Their focus is to purchase high quality securities with an emphasis on intermediate maturities. All changes to a portfolio are made on a gradual basis and annual portfolio turnover is low. Separate approaches are developed for taxable and tax-exempt investors. The firm's balanced growth strategy involves a customized blend of their diversified growth equity strategy with their total return fixed-income strategy. These customized portfolios are designed to benefit from market advances while providing protection during market declines and corrections. In addition, the portfolio maintains a predictable flow of current income. | Analyst-Equity | 30/06/2007 |
