Fixed Income Account:
Our Fixed Income Account utilises an active management approach
in an attempt to add value to the fixed income investment process.
The philosophy is to focus on the individual needs of each client
by combining experience, research and resources to seek above-average
total returns within controlled levels of risk. The investment
process emphasises four specific disciplines: interest rate risk
control, yield curve management, sector allocation and security
selection.

Balanced Growth/Income Account
and Pure Growth/Value Account:
Our Balanced Growth/Income Account and Pure Growth/Value Account
are based on the belief that successful long-term investing is
best attained by identifying undervalued medium-to-large capitalisation
companies which have demonstrated consistent cash flow growth
and sustainable above-average dividend yield. This value philosophy
employs a disciplined strategy to evaluate companies and then
to acquire their stock only when the price is at a material discount
to fair market value or intrinsic value.
The fixed income portion of a balanced portfolio is structured
to preserve capital and minimise the impact of volatile interest
rates by relying on fundamental research of macroeconomic trends
to determine fixed income strategy - reacting to, not forecasting,
interest rates.

TO TOP
Aggressive Growth Account:
Our Aggressive Growth Account is managed with an investment philosophy
to: (1) invest in top-quality businesses, (2) identify above-average
consistent growth, (3) invest at below-average valuations and
(4) recognise and respond to change. This process is driven by
fundamental research and the judgement of an investment management
team broadly experienced in both equity and fixed income investing.
The search for such equities begins with a series of statistical
screens:
1. Earnings growth rates indicate how quickly earnings are
increasing. We look for companies that have the potential to
grow consistently at 15% or more per year.
2. Earnings stability indicates a business' predictability.
3. Excess cash generation demonstrates a company's ability
to generate cash over and above its capital requirements.
4. High return on equity indicates a company's ability to earn
superior profits from its capital investments.
5. Management's record on benefiting shareholders is examined,
including corporate stock repurchases, divestitures of non-central
businesses, and capital spending levels.

International Account:
Our International Account seeks to build wealth for its clients
through the systematic identification of real value in world markets.
This is usually accomplished through strict adherence to the disciplines
of classic value investing.
The philosophy of value investing is simple: find a company that
is financially strong, a company with measurable worth. When its
stock is selling at a price well below its worth, buy it. In time,
the market will recognise this value, and the price will rise
to meet it. When that happens, sell.
The U.S. equity market represents only one third of the world's
market capitalisation. Through investment in both domestic and
foreign securities, we can offer investors a path to wider diversification
of their assets.
