Investment Philosophy
SEAMARK recognizes that equity ownership offers the greatest investment potential over the long-term. SEAMARK views any allocation to bonds as safe money requiring principal protection and liquidity. SEAMARK believes asset mix is optimally determined from the bottom-up. The bottom-up view holds that risk cannot be efficiently managed by a top down approach, shifting among asset allocations based upon constant changes in complex macroeconomic factors. The SEAMARK investment professional’s focus on the key fundamental characteristics of every single investment, thus allowing risk to be managed as each security is added to a portfolio. This strategy proposes that every single investment is capable of better withstanding impulses of the market, versus a top down approach which inherently results in paying less attention to risk and value at the individual security level. SEAMARK’s approach is like building a house, where long term stability is built upon a solid foundation.
