2022 Q1 Quarterly Commentary & Opinion
Our portfolios performed very well in what was a challenging and volatile first quarter for the stock and bond markets. Our composite total return through March 31, 2022, was 1.37%, vs. a -4.62% return for the S&P 500 Index and a -4.14% return for the DJIA. The Nasdaq was -9.10%. Our equity positions achieved a total return of 1.92%. Our average cash position of 23% helped protect against the stock market downside while also allowing us to be opportunistic buyers during periods of significant market volatility. We are accomplishing our stated goals of achieving a reasonable return with protection of principal and have done so since the inception of the Firm.
