Outlook Capital Management, LLC

Outlook Capital Management provides discretionary investment management primarily for individual clients — including trustees and retirement-plan accounts — many of whom pursue a long-term, high-growth objective. The firm charges a percentage-of-assets fee and generally directs trades through clients’ chosen custodians.

The firm’s investment approach is grounded in fundamental analysis of large, financially strong U.S. companies (largely S&P 500 constituents) and favors buy-and-hold holding periods of five to ten years or more, with an emphasis on low corporate leverage and durable cash flow. Portfolios are comprised almost entirely of individual securities (with money market funds used for cash), and strategies are tailored to each client’s tolerance for short-term volatility and long-term return objectives.

Noteworthy aspects compared with many peers include frequent, company-specific communication — quarterly “Inside [Company]” letters for core holdings and a generally twice-weekly client newsletter — and a proxy-voting policy that typically follows management’s recommendations, with a preference to sell holdings rather than vote against management. The firm also documents conflict-of-interest controls in a code of ethics (including executing client trades before personal trades) and accommodates client requests to exclude or add specific securities only when such requests are minor relative to the assets managed.
