1. CONCENTRATED GROWTH – Q1 2011 1
Concentrated Growth | Q1 2011
The equity markets broadly enjoyed a strong start to the year. In the first quarter the portfolio rose 11.7% versus
the benchmark Russell 2500™ Growth Index's rise of 9.8%. For the first quarter, the return of the strategy was in
the top 10 percent of its Lipper peer group. Since inception on August 1, 2007 the strategy has earned an
annualized return of 10.0% versus the Russell 2500™ Growth Index return of 5.3%. This places the strategy ahead
of the benchmark and in the top 6 percent of its peers.
The performance detail for the LMCG Concentrated Growth Composite is as follows:
Composite Performance Q1 2011 1 Year 2 Year* 3 Year* Since Inception*
Concentrated Growth (Gross of Fees) 11.7% 33.5% 47.3% 13.9% 10.0%
Concentrated Growth (Net of Fees) 11.5% 32.2% 45.9% 12.8% 8.9%
Russell 2500™ Growth 9.8% 30.1% 46.0% 9.7% 5.3%
*Annualized. Inception: August 2007.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Please see the composite disclosure below.
Macro events dominated the headlines in the first quarter led by the tragic cascading earthquake, tsunami, and
nuclear disaster in Japan. Alongside this, there was broad unrest in the Mideast headlined by regime change in
Egypt together with civil war and a NATO presence in Libya...all of which overshadowed continued threats of
sovereign defaults within the European Union.
Against this backdrop, most of the benchmarks sector moves do not come as a surprise. Energy led the way in the
first quarter rising 17%. Healthcare Services, Consumer Staples and Technology Hardware were also strong, while
consumer discretionary was weak--all of which represented headwinds to the portfolio given our limited
exposure to these areas. However, strong stock selection in Technology Services, Commercial Services, and in a
couple of Industrials led to the strong absolute and relative performance for the quarter.
A Stock that helped in Q1:
Savvis Inc. (SVVS) - A provider of cloud and hosted IT data center solutions for enterprises. SVVS shares rose on
the heels of rising earnings estimates (i.e., upward movement in the "E"), and in sympathy with a competitor's
buyout (expansion in the "P/E"). We continue to hold the shares as we view the company as a prime beneficiary
of cloud computing and believe the stock has attractive risk/reward.
A Stock that hurt in Q1:
Primo Water Corp. (PRMW) - Primo CEO Billy Prim and his management team are looking to replicate the
success they achieved in the propane industry with “Blue Rhino”, in the bottled water industry with “Primo”.
The stock dropped in Q1 as estimates came down. We sold the shares, capturing the loss, but recently
repurchased as we gained clarity and comfort on the rationale for Primo's decision to take "short-term pain for
long-term gain". Specifically, the company and Wal-Mart have agreed to an accelerated rollout of Primo's
products system wide and Primo acquired their way into the single-serve carbonated beverage industry.
The U.S. economy continues to improve and unemployment along with it. The challenge will be whether the
economy can power through tightening monetary policy, government fiscal constraints, and inflationary
pressures. While these factors and the recent strength in equities may lead to some bumps along the way, your
portfolio remains full of well-positioned secular growth companies--and the risk/reward remains good.
2. CONCENTRATED GROWTH – Q1 2011 2
The LMCG Concentrated Growth strategy seeks to generate compound annual returns of at least 15% per annum
through employing a disciplined two-part investment process: 1) Identifying companies capable of sustaining
15%+ growth; and 2) Using an "expected return" framework to determine when the stocks of these good
companies have attractive risk/reward. We focus on sectors which are rich with "sustainable growers" and in which
we have demonstrated the ability to add alpha over a long period of time. The result provides investors with a
portfolio of attractively priced stocks of some of the most exciting and innovative companies in the economy.
The holdings above represent the five best and five worst performing stocks for a representative account in the Concentrated Growth
strategy for Q1 2011. A complete list of holdings and additional details on methodology for calculating performance and/or
