Investment Strategies

Value First, Patience Always

We invest with purpose: aligning your money with your life—funding today’s needs while building growth for tomorrow.

For over 50 years, the heart of our work has been understanding businesses. To us, a stock is never just a ticker symbol or a wiggle on a chart, it represents ownership in a real company. Our discipline comes from in-depth research and analysis: studying balance sheets, cash flows, management quality, and valuation.

That focus on fundamentals is the foundation of our investment thinking and philosophy at Century Management. It guides every decision we make, from building portfolios of individual stocks and bonds to evaluating whether funds or ETFs may complement a client’s unique circumstances.

We recognize that no two investors are alike. Sometimes individual securities are the right fit. Other times, mutual funds or ETFs serve a purpose—broadening diversification, providing access to specific markets, or aligning better with the size and structure of a portfolio. In every case, the choice is intentional, rooted in fundamentals, and shaped around your goals.

It’s not about one method being “better” than another. It’s about knowing you and then choosing the right mix to serve your plan.

Our Philosophy: The Century Management Approach

Value First. The price you pay matters.

➤ Patience Always. Results come from implementing disciplined investment principles, not reacting to noise or what’s popular.

➤ Flexibility with Principle. We believe in owning good businesses that can stand the test of time. At the same time, we will invest in cyclical or commodity companies when we believe their valuations offer a clear margin of safety and present a strong investment opportunity that meets our discipline.

 Risk Defined by Recovery. To us, volatility isn’t a threat—it can create opportunities. Real risk is what you can’t come back from: a permanent loss of capital or a plan that no longer supports your needs and lifestyle.


Our Process: The Four Ds

1. Discover – Clarify goals, taxes, accounts, cash needs, and comfort level.

2. Design – Propose an allocation tailored to your plan and risk capacity.

3. Deploy – Implement efficiently with tax-aware strategies and cost control.

4. Discipline – Track progress, rebalance, and manage gains and losses.
