Investment Philosophy

Stock Market Returns
The stock market offers one of the few ways to increase capital after taxes and inflation.  In the long run, stocks substantially outperform bond and money market investments.  The Zazove Convertible Strategy seeks to achieve the long-term returns characteristic of stocks.

Safety
The preservation of capital is an essential component of a successful investment strategy.  Our disciplined convertible strategy has substantially lower risk than the broad stock market.

Long-Term Perspective
Successful investors must maintain a long-term perspective.  Our convertible strategy is not distracted by daily headlines and short-term market fluctuations.

No Forecasts
Over the long term, no one can consistently and accurately forecast the movements in the stock market, interest rates or the economy.  Our quantitative strategy is based on probabilities and statistics rather than predictions or market timing.

Proper Diversification
Diversification by company and industry are necessary in any equity-type investment.  This is particularly important given our emphasis on preservation of capital and non-reliance on prediction.
