2020 Q4 Quarterly Commentary & Opinion

Posted on January 12, 2021 by Chris Kondracki

Our composite total return for 2020 was 11.35%, and our equity position total return was 15.61%. The total returns on the S&P 500, DJIA, and Russell 1000 Value Index were 18.40%, 9.72%, and 2.8%, respectively. Importantly, our portfolios were far less volatile than the market in 2020 – and we significantly outperformed during the extremely challenging first quarter.Download Commentary

2020 Q3 Quarterly Commentary & Opinion

Posted on October 9, 2020 by Chris Kondracki

Our year-to-date composite total return through September 30th was 4.05%, and our equity position total return was 5.48%. The total returns on the S&P 500, DJIA and Russell 1000 Value Index were 5.57%, -.91%, and -11.58%, respectively. Importantly, our portfolios have been far less volatile than the market this year while still achieving much of the return of the S&P 500 and significantly outperforming our other performance benchmarks.

2020 Q2 Quarterly Commentary & Opinion

Posted on July 9, 2020 by Chris Kondracki

Our year-to-date composite total return through June 30th was -1.99%. The total returns on the S&P 500, DJIA and Russell 1000 Value Index were -3.08%, -8.43%, and -16.26%, respectively.

The stock market’s dramatic rise from the first quarter’s lows seems to be a reaction to unprecedented Federal Reserve asset buying, and its stated commitment to keep interest rates near zero for the foreseeable future in support of financial markets and the economy. The near-term market benefit of this activity has been clear, but the real and sustainable economic benefit of these actions is not so clear. All this, against the backdrop of the coronavirus, and the reaction to the virus, continues to cause great concern and economic hardship for very many hard-working American families and businesses – whose future prospects for good health, wealth and employment are far from certain. Recently, there have been some positive indications on the health, economic and employment fronts as the U.S. economy works to reopen, but the longer term market, societal and economic effects of the Fed’s intervention and the coronavirus, presents us with a higher risk environment indicating a more cautious investment approach is warranted.Download PDF

2020 Q1 Quarterly Commentary & Opinion

Posted on April 8, 2020 by Chris Kondracki

Markets have been extremely volatile and challenging during the first quarter. The total returns on the S&P 500, DJIA and Russell 1000 Value Index were -19.76%, -22.73%, -26.73%, respectively. Our portfolios have significantly outperformed the market during this difficult period, with a composite total return of -12.23%. Moreover, our performance has improved since the end of the quarter: through April 6, 2020, our composite total return is -9.8%. Importantly, from the market’s January peak, through April 6, 2020, we have outperformed the S&P 500 by nearly 14%, net of fees. As a result, our YTD, 1 yr. and 3 yr. annualized total returns as of 4/6/2020 have exceeded market returns, with just one half the volatility of the S&P 500. In addition, our portfolio performance, when measured against the Large Cap Value investing universe, including Mutual Funds, Index Funds and ETFs, would rank us in the top 1% for every measurable time frame since the inception of our firm in December of 2012.Download PDF
