Starbuck, Tisdale & Associates
Starbuck, Tisdale & Associates Investment ManagersFinance STA's investment philosophy is based on a belief that equity ownership in well-managed, growing companies will produce superior long-term results for investors. For equities, they focus on companies that reinvest a large part of their earnings for future corporate growth. This selection process also applies to stocks with higher dividend yields. These include companies whose dividends have been paid for many consecutive years and that have shown a consistent pattern of dividend increases. For their taxable clients, STA typically invests in municipal bonds that are both federal and state tax-exempt in the state where they maintain their primary residence. In some cases, they invest in other bond sectors, but this decision is primarily driven by their assessment of the best available after-tax returns for their clients. In the case of municipal bond investing, STA seeks to purchase high-quality issues whose repayment is backed by reliable cash flow. For tax-deferred portfolios, they typically invest in the U.S. Treasury, U.S. agency, and corporate bond sectors. The allocation decision is based on individual client objectives as well as relative returns between these sectors. STA's current bond strategy targets an average maturity of about 5 years, which is achieved through a laddered portfolio with individual maturities between 2 and 10 years. | Corporate Officer/Principal | 01/01/2005 |
