Front Barnett seeks to achieve above-average after-tax returns on client portfolios over a market cycle. The firm’s core equity portfolio employs a growth and value-blended investment strategy. Equity portfolios are broadly diversified with large-, mid-, and small-cap securities composed of domestic and foreign domiciled common stocks, index funds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and exchange traded notes. Front Barnett manages its fixed income portfolios through active management, duration control, broad sector diversification, maintenance of issues with maturities of generally 10 years or less, and continuity of income streams ordinarily through use of investment-grade instruments.

FSC is a long-term investor which seeks to generate sustainable earnings growth by dominantly investing in large-cap companies. The firm employs a predominantly bottom-up investment decision-making process managed by the Investment Committee. The committee formulates a macroeconomic and capital market outlook and evaluates the attractiveness of the various economic sectors and industries.

Portfolio managers, research analysts and investment strategists work together to construct the most appropriate portfolio to meet each client's objectives. Growth stocks serve as the core of every client's equity portfolio. In addition, Stein uses opportunity stocks to provide an element of balance and diversity in each portfolio. Opportunity stocks include attractively priced companies with more modest growth rates as well as special situations that are value driven. Their fixed-income investment process incorporates both top-down and bottom-up factors by emphasizing three key components: yield curve management, sector analysis and individual security selection. After determining asset allocation guidelines in league with their clients, Roe employs a 'best of breed' approach to implementation over a variety of asset classes. For many of their clients they utilize external expertise in niche areas that complement their core portfolio structure (these may include small capitalization stocks, international equities and alternative investments).
