FYI: During his nearly 30 years at the helm, Joel Tillinghast has steadily built one of the finest track records of any fund in the small- or mid-cap Morningstar Categories. His cool-headedness has been key to his success. As a long-term investor, he looks for resilient companies with staying power and doesn't chase fads. He tries to avoid firms that lack an enduring competitive advantage, steers clear of those loaded up with too much debt, and scrutinizes their leadership's integrity and prowess.
Regards,
Ted
