Chris is attracted to investments in which there are widely understood and accepted reasons to be pessimistic about a company, but where our work reveals underlying strengths that are not appreciated by the market. ?In many cases these tend to be companies with low valuations and weak current results, but with great potential for improved results in the future,? explains Chris. This contrarian style works best during periods of stress, when investors become excessively pessimistic. He is also willing to invest in more highly valued companies where our analytical work suggests there is a durable long-term competitive advantage that will offer sustainably high returns. Chris tends to hold a portfolio of around 30 stocks, with the top 10 positions typically representing 40-50% of the portfolio.

In order to achieve an above-average portfolio yield, he focuses on those companies with substantial current dividend yields to balance with those of average yield but higher growth of income. Jim describes his buying approach as being ?less worried about buying it ?just right' and more interested in what the dividend will be in three to five years.? His approach leads to a portfolio with less volatility and less turnover than most others. Investments stay in Jim's portfolios for a long time as evidenced by his very low turnover of about 10% in any given year.
