At Bradley, Foster & Sargent, we recognize that
each client is faced with unique circumstances
and has individual investment requirements. Our
approach is to develop, implement and monitor investment
programs to create individualized portfolios structured
to address each client’s specific needs and desires.
Trust. Our clients want
their investments entrusted to investment managers
with integrity; professionals who can be trusted
to pursue faithfully their objectives of protecting
capital in times of economic adversity and increasing
it in times of prosperity.
Investment performance. Consistent
with investment considerations such as risk tolerance,
liquidity, income and tax planning, our clients
desire superior relative and absolute performance
measured over an entire market cycle. We strive
to outperform appropriate stock market indices
in the equity portion of our client portfolios
by investing primarily in growth stocks with a
risk-moderating strategy. In the fixed income portion
of portfolios, we generally invest in high-quality
taxable and tax-exempt bonds, adjusting duration
to maximize income and minimize risk.
Attentive personal service. We
seek to build long-term relationships by serving
our clients well with superior investment performance,
personal attention and responsive communication.
