Investment Overview
The ClearBridge Large Cap Growth Portfolios seek high-quality, large-company stocks that can provide the potential for solid long-term performance.
Investment Objective
Seeks:
Long-term growth of capital
Investment Philosophy
- Invest in leadership companies where we believe the market price underestimates the magnitude of future growth
- Use stock selection as primary driver – identify category leaders with characteristics to sustain that position
- Find secular tailwinds to support multi-year investment opportunities, allowing for compounding of earnings and cash flow
- Perform rigorous analysis to understand company fundamentals, key competitive dynamics and industry structure
Believe that the best business models win over time
- Identify barriers to entry and prefer companies with innovation prowess, regardless of size
- Look for businesses that protect and grow market share consistently
- Gravitate to self-funding business models with significant recurring revenue
Seek businesses with the ability to generate solid free cash flow over time
- Stress test the sustainability of profitability and growth
Take a disciplined approach to valuation
Portfolio Positioning
- Designed for investors seeking long-term capital appreciation through investments in large-capitalization companies with the potential for future earnings growth
- Long-term, buy-and-hold approach results in lower portfolio turnover
Market, security and/or other investment considerations may result in higher turnover from time to time. Also, all capitalization ranges will not necessarily be represented in an individual account. There is no guarantee that the Portfolio's objectives will be met.
Investment Process
Investment Process
Step 1 - Idea Generation
