Investment Overview

The ClearBridge Growth Portfolios seek growth company stocks with the potential for above-average long-term earnings and/or cash flow growth.

Investment Objective

Seeks to:

  • Achieve long-term capital appreciation through investments in large-, mid- and small-capitalization stocks that have the potential for above-average long-term earnings and/or cash flow growth.
  • Select companies that can be held for long periods of time.
Investment Philosophy

We believe that: 

  • An all-capitalization portfolio that seeks a low-turnover approach to portfolio construction, allowing earnings and/or cash flow to compound, does not force sell decisions based upon market capitalization.
  • Intensive, bottom-up investment process seeks inefficiently priced companies with strong fundamentals, incentive-driven management teams and dominant positions in niche markets and/or goods or services customers are practically compelled to use.
Portfolio Positioning
  • Designed for investors seeking a growth portfolio with the ability to invest in all market capitalizations. 
  • Offers a long-term buy-and-hold strategy, which may reduce 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.

Key differentiators:
  • We believe a true growth portfolio should consist of stocks that can be held not for a quarter or two but for many years so that earnings and/or cash flow growth can compound over time.
  • Portfolios typically concentrated in generally 35-60 stocks.
  • Sector concentrations can be significant but are a by-product of the bottom-up fundamental research driven stock selection process.

Investment Process

Investment Process

Step 1 - Define the Investment Universe

Consider companies across the market capitalization spectrum that we believe have the potential for above-average long-term earnings and/or cash flow growth.

Step 2 - Perform Bottom-Up Fundamental Analysis

Emphasize companies with significant franchise value, material ownership stake by management, strong balance sheets and/or ubiquitous products or services.

Step 3 - Determine Buy List

Identify companies that may be inefficiently priced and/or overlooked by Wall Street at time of position initiation.

Step 4 - Maintain Concentrated Portfolio with Long-Term Horizon

Construct a low-turnover portfolio of generally 35-60 holdings concentrated by industry and issuer. Allow earnings and/or cash flow growth to compound.

Step 5 - Review Holdings Continuously

Re-examine a current holding when long-term deterioration in company or industry fundamentals is seen as a significant possibility, valuation is excessive or a new idea provides better risk/return prospects.

The investment process may change over time. The characteristics set forth above are intended as a general illustration of some of the criteria the strategy team considers in selecting securities for client portfolios. There is no guarantee investment objectives will be achieved.

Risks

What Are the Risks?

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. To the extent the portfolio invests in a concentration of certain securities, regions or industries, it is subject to increased volatility. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks.
