Strategies OakBrook’s Select Equity Strategy is built upon an economic concept called “Market Power”. Companies with Market Power possess both dominant market share and barrier(s) to entry. Entry barriers can take several forms including patents, brand recognition, economies of scale and several others. Companies with Market Power effectively enjoy a shield from competition, which protects market share, longer-term profitability and promotes creation of long-term shareholder value. Shares of these leading companies are purchased when OakBrook considers them undervalued by the market. The strategy’s goal is to outperform the S&P 500 by 3%-4% over the investment cycle, while not exposing investors to additional risk. Due to the conservative, defensive nature of stocks held in the portfolio, Select Equity offers its best relative performance during stable, declining or highly volatile markets, while typically lagging somewhat during rising markets.
