LSC seeks to balance appropriate portfolio diversification with a focus on over-weighting areas of opportunity. Our industry sector weightings will not be driven by our performance benchmark indices, but rather by our perception of value.
Our strategy is to invest in 25 to 35 individual stocks. We believe that over-diversification can result in mediocre investment performance, and those investors whose goal is broad diversification and adherence to a benchmark would be better served by index strategies. A list of past recommendations is available upon request.
