The Large Cap Growth Portfolio focuses on large cap domestic and US listed foreign stocks. Established stocks
demonstrating earnings growth are favored when
meeting the criteria for inclusion in the portfolio. Portfolio
construction is market-driven and not based on macroeconomic forecasts.

The objective is to provide compounded annual returns
that track the benchmark Russell 1000 Growth® return in
rising markets and to attempt to provide protection to
client capital in declining markets. Risk control utilizing
stock selection and sector weighting is a major feature of
the portfolio’s strategy. *
Accounting for gains, the maximum single-stock concentration is limited to approximately 5% of the portfolio.
Sector concentrations are limited to predefined multiples
of the S&P 500® index. When fully invested, the portfolio
typically holds 38 to 48 stocks and 5% cash. Up to 25% of
the portfolio may be invested in US listed Canadian stocks
and American Depository Shares (ADRs) of major foreign
companies. Initial single-stock positions are typically 2% to
3% of the portfolio at cost.
Stock holdings and their weight in the model portfolio are
replicated in client portfolios. Client portfolio returns may
differ from the model portfolio due to variations in share
allocation and external considerations such as when a
client funds the portfolio or withdraws funds from the
portfolio.

CONCORDIUS CAPITAL ADVISORS, LLC
The firm uses well-defined money management processes. Unlike attempts by some to ‘time the market’,
portfolio equity exposure in down-trending markets is
decreased as individual stocks meet sell criteria and
fewer stocks meet buy criteria. The opposite occurs in
up markets. Cash level is a dynamic of the buy–sell
process. The portfolio seeks to be fully invested consistent with market risk and the number of stocks
meeting buy and sell criteria.
