FOUNDATIONS & FAMILY OFFICES | LARGE CAP CORE EQUITY


  Dearborn Partners' large cap core equity product invests in high-quality, established companies that offer attractive long-term risk-adjusted returns. Our disciplined approach begins with extensive "bottom-up," fundamental analysis of specific companies followed by detailed economic analysis to confirm attractive current and future business trends. Our portfolio typically encompasses 35 – 50 stocks with a weighted average market capitalization significantly higher than the benchmark index. These established securities maintain strong competitive advantages that allow them to generate consistent earnings and dividend growth in excess of the market. Additionally, companies are purchased which stand to benefit from an upcoming event or catalyst that will accelerate earnings growth and drive P/E multiple expansion. All investments are made at favorable valuations based on intrinsic value and an emphasis is placed on companies that illustrate steady dividend growth. Our consistent strategy of investing in "best-of-breed" companies allows us to avoid style drift and to generate superior performance over the long-term for our clients.
