Our overall objective for clients’ money is for handsome total returns: income and capital appreciation by investing in higher yielding common equity stocks with a market capitalization over half a billion.

Since the commencement of this year, clients’ portfolios have performed relatively well. Our outperformance is not an anomaly or coincidence. Many studies have shown that over decades, higher dividend-paying stocks in which Bloom specializes, have substantially outperformed the S&P/TSX Composite Index.

Two takeovers in the last 6 months at over 80% premiums to the then closing share prices speak to the hidden values within our portfolios. Still, we see a number of our other portfolio holdings as being exceedingly inexpensive at present and ripe for further takeover activity.

While the current investment market will face an uphill battle, despite this, we believe our portfolios can continue to perform relatively as well as they have over the last 12 months. While we review our long-term performance history, we note that some of our best years were in higher interest rate and inflationary environments.

We believe that this can and will be repeated in the current environment.
