LaSalle Street Capital Management's (LSCM) investment approach is based on the belief that long-term investments in concentrated portfolios of well-managed, growing businesses that are diversified across life cycle stages will generate consistent outperformance. The firm manages separate accounts for taxable and tax-exempt clients which are customized to meet each client's needs. LSCM's equity strategies include: Strategic Growth and Small-Cap Growth. The firm's Strategic Growth strategy is a large-cap core investment strategy with a growth/GARP bias. Their Small-Cap strategy is a small-cap core investment strategy with a growth/GARP bias. Both strategies result in concentrated portfolios, long-term holdings and life cycle diversification. In addition, both strategies are designed create provide portfolios with a high probability of participating in up market cycles while being well-positioned to endure down market cycles. LSCM constructs portfolios from the bottom-up, using fundamental analysis with risk overlays. The corporate life cycle is embedded throughout their investment process and is used as an analytical tool and for risk control.

CAM believes that stocks of financially strong, undervalued companies will outperform broad market indices over normal market cycles. They use a team-based approach to search the universe of large-cap stocks where securities are liquid, company's management is dedicated to improvement and the estimated value of the company can be ascertained. CAM looks for sound companies whose stocks under-performed the equity market over the previous year, are currently valued at a discount to fair market value and exhibit p/e, price-to-cash flow and price-to-book values well below that of the equity market. Initial purchase price of each stock in the portfolio will generally be at or below its 12-month trading mid-point.
