LaSalle's investment management philosophy is based on controlling risk and volatility while producing long-term wealth accumulation. Their principal goal is to meet investment objectives through a systematic and disciplined approach to the purchase and sale of securities. Their portfolio managers focus on companies with superior earnings growth, stability, with above-average ROE and evidence of sustainable margins.

After a list has been developed, each company is scrutinized to ensure financial strength and the ability to support future growth.
