Investment Philosophy Our goal has always been, and continues to be, to protect our clients’ hard-earned capital and to achieve reasonable long-term growth and sufficient income, in order to meet our clients’ needs. Mark J. Krygier Vice President & Portfolio Manager
Our Investment Philosophy is Based on: Conservative and time proven principles of investing. Overlaying our investment ideas with technical analysis.
Our SUCCESS has Come From: Care and Attention  – that we give to the construction and on-going management of our clients’ individual portfolios. Experience  – managing through two of the worst bear markets in the last century has framed our views. Learning  – constantly seeking out ideas for upgrading portfolios and upgrading professional education.
What Makes Us Uniquely Qualified? Consistent and disciplined  approach to investing. Individualized portfolios  vs. “Cookie Cutter”  i.e. one size does NOT fit all. Clients hold individual securities  vs. mutual or pooled funds. Transparency  with regard to: (a) investment process (b) risk management   (c) fee structure
What Makes us Uniquely Qualified? Holistic Approach  to achieving overall financial success. Portfolio management  is done within that context with consideration of: legal  ramifications tax  planning considerations estate  planning needs We help our clients avoid  THE FINANCIAL FAILURE TRAP !
Characteristics of Our Portfolios Concentrated portfolios  – 25-35 stocks (Canada, U.S. and ADRs) High quality fixed income securities : investment-grade corporate bonds and high-quality preferred shares Significantly less volatile  than the markets by underweighting cyclical stocks Willingness to trim gains  to limit our clients’ exposure to any single company - remember the “Nortel” lesson Willing to take small losses  to avoid large losses e.g. AIG  Strategically manage  asset allocation in volatile markets
Investment Ideas are Generated From Various Sources Including: TD Waterhouse PAIR and TD Newcrest Research Non-brokerage research including  Valueline  and  Standard & Poors The Gartman Letter Don Vialoux’s “ Tech Talk ” Strategic Investment Advisor (SIA) Charts The Financial Post, Globe & Mail, Barron’s, Wall Street Journal The Trend is Your Friend!   All investment ideas are “vetted” through technical analysis – we like stocks that go “up” and hate stocks that go down!
Criteria We Look For in Choosing Stocks GOOD BUSINESSES:  industry leaders, strong and improving balance sheet, clear and sustainable competitive advantages, free cash flow generation, understandable businesses, proven management ability. GOOD PRICE:  avoid buying near all-time highs, consider valuation vs. peers and market as a whole, not looking to catch the bottom. TECHNICALLY SOUND:  ideally the 50-week moving average (MA) is trending up, the stock is trading above the 50-week MA, and it has significant volume which is supporting further moves upwards .
Stocks Will be Sold Under the Following Conditions:   Future profitability  - appears to be declining. Balance sheet risk  - appears to be increasing unreasonably. A better investment opportunity  exists elsewhere – not married to positions. Breakdown  in the technical momentum – this removes the emotion involved in knowing when to sell. Trim positions  - to maintain our diversification discipline.
