Company Overview
Stratford Management Inc. has a dedicated and entrepreneurial management team focused on building value for our clients and investors. Their breadth and depth of experience positions us near the forefront of our industry.
All Stratford Management Inc. employees are required to agree to the Stratford Management Inc. Code of Ethics, which provides a comprehensive framework demanding ethical behaviour from every employee, regardless of their status within the organization.
A Long-Term Strategy
The market changes every day, but your financial goals rarely do, so your investment strategy shouldn’t either. We believe a long-term strategy is the best way to build and preserve your financial security. But remember that ‘buy and hold’ doesn’t mean ‘buy and ignore’. Together, we review your portfolio at least three times a year to make sure you’re on track to meet your financial goals.
Quality
After years of experience, we know that quality matters. Our research department recommends stocks, bonds and mutual funds that offer the potential for solid performance over time – through good and bad markets. We avoid investment fads and do not recommend options, commodities or junk-rated bonds. We believe these are too risky and will not deliver the performance needed to reach your goals.
Our Investment Philosophy
Stratford Management Inc. believes in a thoughtful, straightforward investment philosophy – long-term investing with an emphasis on quality and diversification. All of these elements work together. Building wealth requires patience, focus, and objectivity. Experience shows that taking time to ensure clients understand what they are investing in, and why, results in better long-term gains. We are here to help you make sense of investing.
Diversification
No investment is risk free. Finding the right balance between risk and potential return is at the heart of any solid investment strategy. Diversification is the most important element to reduce your risk while giving you the opportunity to realize capital gains. We structure all portfolios to include a variety of investments that will perform in a complementary manner in various markets and economic conditions.
