Once an up wave is in place, many investors believe it is permanent. At Cornerstone, we have researched hundreds of years of market cycles to aid our clients in understanding where we are within the cycle. Our objective is to invest into the next wave, not the end of the current one. We first scrutinize the economy, determine the sectors that will benefit most, then look within those sectors for the industries best positioned to succeed. This view gives us a clearer grasp of how stocks, bonds, cash and even hard assets could fit into your investment portfolio.
Value investing requires discipline and time.
Aided by some of Wall Street's most sophisticated analytical tools and research from well respected firms, we are able to sift through thousands of stocks for our clients. We are not interested in the latest hot stock or fad. Rather, we painstakingly look for opportunities to pay a fraction of the real value of a company. By concentrating on value, we are not limited to just stocks. This discipline can be applied to bonds and mutual funds as well.
