What are the differences among Tandem’s three strategies?

Large Cap Core
Large Cap Core (LCC) seeks to produce superior risk-adjusted returns, while minimizing volatility over a complete market cycle. This strategy requires that portfolio companies consistently grow both earnings and dividends, and dividends must be paid to be included in the strategy. Tandem believes dividend growth justified by earnings growth should allow stocks to perform well over time regardless of economic or market conditions. A proprietary semi-quantitative investment methodology is utilized in attempt to produce returns that experience less volatility than the broader market.

 

Equity
Equity (EQ) seeks to produce superior risk-adjusted returns, while minimizing volatility over a complete market cycle. This strategy requires that portfolio companies consistently grow earnings and dividends, if dividends are paid. Equity does not require portfolio companies to pay a dividend, but does require that it grow if paid. A proprietary semi-quantitative investment methodology is utilized in attempt to produce returns that experience less volatility than the broader market.

 

Mid Cap Core
Mid Cap Core (MCC) seeks to produce superior risk-adjusted returns, while minimizing volatility over a complete market cycle. This strategy requires that portfolio companies consistently grow earnings and dividends, if dividends are paid. MCC does not require portfolio companies to pay a dividend, but does require that it grow if paid. MCC also requires that initial investments at the strategy level must be limited to companies under a $20 billion market cap at the time of initial purchase. A proprietary semi-quantitative investment methodology is utilized in attempt to produce returns that experience less volatility than the broader market.
