Kanawha focuses on large and medium-sized companies with sound growth potential that sell at a reasonable cost. On average, these companies tend to have low debt, above average dividends, strong earnings and a history of declining less in down markets than average stocks. To guard against interest rate and credit risk, Kanawha believes in laddered bond portfolios with bonds of grade 'A' or better and actively manages bond holdings to maximize growth as well as income potential.
