Astrop Advisory manages concentrated equity portfolios, as well as designs diversified asset allocation strategies.

Astrop Core 25

Astrop Advisory’s flagship core equity portfolio, Astrop Core 25, is a concentrated large-cap equity strategy that strives to outperform the S&P 500 over time. The strategy identifies roughly 25 superior companies that possess sustainable competitive advantages, allowing them to earn high returns on invested capital and generate robust free cash flows.

Once these companies are identified and vetted, they are only purchased when selling for significant discounts to their fair values, providing a margin of safety that protects the portfolio against downside risks.

Astrop Defensive 25

The Astrop Defensive 25 strategy is designed to minimize losses in the equity markets, while capturing most, if not all, of the stock market’s upside. The portfolio consists of approximately 25 undervalued stocks and allocates at least 10% to cash or hedged investments, to minimize volatility. During expensive market phases, this cash cushion may exceed 10%.

The strategy focuses on high quality, predictable companies who display modest volatility and low uncertainty. Additionally, each company must pay a dividend. A strict valuation discipline is imposed at all times, so the strategy will not chase yield or overpay for companies.

Astrop Mid-Cap 20

The Astrop Mid-Cap 20 strategy is a highly concentrated mid-cap value equity strategy that strives to outperform the Russell MidCap Value Index over time. The strategy identifies roughly 20 superior, mid-sized (market capitalizations ranging from $2 - $10 billion) companies that possess sustainable competitive advantages, allowing them to earn high returns on invested capital and generate robust free cash flows.

Once these companies are identified and vetted, they are only purchased when selling for significant discounts to their fair values, providing a margin of safety that protects the portfolio against downside risks.

PotLatch Global ESG

PotLatch Global ESG is a concentrated equity strategy that strives to outperform the S&P 500 over time, while focusing on companies that adhere to stringent environmental, social and governance standards. The strategy is unique in that it identifies roughly 20 superior companies worldwide that possess sustainable competitive advantages, allowing them to earn high returns on invested capital and generate robust free cash flows, while simultaneously demonstrating superior commitments to ESG tenets.

Once these companies are identified, they are meticulously vetted by Billy Rice, our ESG partner, using a proprietary framework that measures companies against internationally recognized metrics, ensuring that they truly contribute to the betterment of the environment and society. If a company passes this rigorous screening process, it is only purchased when selling for a significant discount to its fair value. The goal is to own responsible companies, without undermining the portfolio’s potential to generate superior long-term returns.
