Balanced/Conservative Growth Composite

 

Product Description

The Moloney Securities Balanced/Conservative Growth Composite, managed by Ron Medley, is available to individual and institutional investors and can be customized to meet the needs of each client's investment policy.

 

Strategy Overview

The composite seeks long term growth, income, and capital conservation, in combination.  It utilizes both active and passive investment vehicles to create a balanced portfolio profile.  Equities, whether individual stocks or index ETF's, purchased primarily for growth,normally make up around 60% of the portfolio and securities purchased for income make up the remainder.  Passive construction methods are used to manage risk and maintain a consistent ongoing portfolio profile.

 

Client Customization

The investment strategy can be further customized to meet the needs of each individual client's investment policy.  This is accomplished by narrowing the investment style to meet each client's investment preferences, such as: limiting investment to specific asset classes, company size or bond rating (example: 100% equity, mid-cap only), accommodating social investing concerns, & using tax efficient strategies.

  3. Supplemental graph showing growth of $100,000 is for illustrative purposes only. No contributions or withdrawals are contemplated. No taxes or investment management fees are considered. The statistics are based on annual returns assuming reinvestment of dividends and income, and account for both realized and unrealized gains and losses.
     
  4. The MSAM Balanced/Conservative Growth Composite contains discretionary, fee paying, accounts, managed by Ron Medley, that follow a balanced and/or growth investment strategy. Investments can include both equity & income producing securities. The composite seeks long-term growth, income, and capital preservation. Equity investments, which normally make up around 60% of the portfolio, can be held across the spectrum of company size but are normally concentrated in mid and small sized domestic companies. The investment research process is focused on finding growth at a reasonable price. Thus, equity investments are sought in companies that display fundamental growth characteristics and trade at a price discount to their modeled intrinsic value or exhibit another portfolio characteristic or factor sought. Fixed Income securities, which make up 40% of the portfolio, are used to lessen the volatility of the overall portfolio while seeking income and capital preservation. Account asset allocations are adjusted individually in accordance with each client's risk tolerance & investment preferences. Portfolio construction methods are used to follow the same Balanced/Conservative Growth Composite methodology across portfolios while allowing for customization of individual client accounts per their unique risk tolerance and investment preferences.
     
  5. Returns are presented both gross and net of management fees and include the reinvestment of all income. Gross of fees includes trading costs and net of fees includes management fees. Net of fees is net of actual fees. There are no performance fees. All performance is in USD. The effect of withholding tax on the composite is not considered nor is it reflected in the benchmark price indices. The firm has a policy of checking for significant cash flows and revaluing portfolios for performance purposes when a cash flow greater than 10% happens. The fee schedule is negotiable with the highest potential fee of 2% of assets under management in the composite.
     
  6. A benchmark blend of the S&P 1500 Total Return (TR) – 60% and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index -40% are provided for comparison to the Balanced/Conservative Growth Composite. The S&P 1500 for its characteristic of representing the broad equity market and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for its characteristic of representing the broad bond market, and the 60%/40% blend for its characteristic of representing the overall target investment in the composite. None of the S&P indices reflect the deduction of a management fee if an investor invested in them. The S&P index reflects the reinvestment of all income.
