Since our founding in 1975, W.P. Stewart's belief that stock prices follow earnings growth has led to superior portfolio performance.
W.P. Stewart has maintained a consistent investment philosophy during our 35+ year tenure. We have preserved and increased the wealth entrusted to us by our clients for over three decades and have built a long-term performance record that far exceeds that of the major U.S. indices. If our historical performance shows anything, it is the power of steadily growing earnings to push stock prices higher over time.
This graph represents the cumulative value net of fees and expenses as of December 31, 2011 of a $100 investment in the W.P. Stewart U.S. Equity Composite versus a $100 investment in the S&P 500 Index with dividends reinvested. As the difference in cumulative performance between the W.P. Stewart U.S. Equity Composite and the S&P 500 Index is large, the same chart is available with a logarithmic scale.
