JW Bristol’s equity investment philosophy is built upon the recognition that companies with durable competitive advantages generally produce superior earnings growth, and that superior earnings growth leads to above-average returns to shareholders over time. Their investment horizon is long term – typically five to 10 years. As such, they believe that these companies are good stewards of investment capital and are qualified for purchase on these merits, but do not follow criteria specified in a sustainable investment policy.
