Portfolio Positioning as of 3/31/2022

  • We believe that our investment philosophy, which is focused on identifying durable franchises with favorable long-term growth prospects, is well positioned to navigate through current market volatility.
  • We believe we can deliver consistently strong returns by owning a portfolio of durable growth companies that have seen growth trends and adoption structurally accelerate, supporting current valuations. In addition, we seek to own companies that have developed a stronger competitive position or have been temporarily negatively impacted by the current environment creating an attractive entry point.
  • The strength of the economy post-COVID has led to a strong rebound in economic growth. It has also led to evidence of rising inflation, which has resulted in greater emphasis on the evaluation of the pricing power and cost structure of businesses within the portfolio. We continue to monitor both macro and micro factors within current focus areas that include the continuing impacts from COVID on the global economy; risks to rising inflation; tax reform and other programs being proposed in Congress; and regulations. Furthermore, we believe durable franchises will continue to persevere through challenging environments.
