Our Core Equity strategy seeks to outperform the S&P 500 benchmark by 200 to 300 basis points through a market cycle of 3-5 years while maintaining a low tracking error of 3-4%. Our process attempts to achieve this goal by constructing a core portfolio of approximately 50 long term holdings to create a portfolio that has a more efficient risk reward profile and greater diversification than the output of conventional capitalization weighted index strategies.

Quantitative Portfolio Management (QPM) is a proprietary investment strategy offered by Argus Investors' Counsel for timing the buying and selling of common stocks. Trends in historical market prices of individual stocks are analyzed to determine their direction and strength over time periods of up to three months (short term), and of up to 12 months (medium term). Accounting data from income statements and balance sheets of individual companies is not explicitly included in the QPM strategy except as these data may already be reflected in market prices.

The Argus Activist Turnaround Strategy brings together Argus Investors' Counsel and Vickers Stock Research to produce a portfolio of deep value stocks which may be poised to rebound because activist investors have built substantial ownership positions in the companies. Activists should represent a catalyst for significant change and, subsequently, significant price recovery and appreciation.
