Buy Process
  1. Screen for yield:
    stocks with yields above the market yield

  2. Compare to historical relative yield:
    stocks with historically low prices

  3. Analyze companies:
    stocks which pass intensive fundamental analysis

  4. Diversify:
    control risk by selecting securities which represent current sector and industry weightings

Sell Discipline

Berkeley strives to minimize portfolio losses and to outperform the overall market by practicing quantitative sell disciplines including a stop-loss discipline. We will sell a stock for any of the following reasons:
  1. yield falls at least one standard deviation below its historic
    relative yield,
  2. yield declines to the yield of the market,
  3. price declines 20% from our cost relative to the market
    (a stop-loss), or
  4. dividend is unlikely to be maintained.
