We focus on growth and potential growth in cashflow and earnings for the stocks we invest in. The portfolio will maintain a Canadian content limit so it will always be RRSP eligible. Capital growth with reasonable risk will be the primary objective of the portfolio so for clients with balanced and conservative portfolios, cash, bonds and preferred shares will be selected in addition to the McComb Portfolio. The portfolio is designed for investors with a long term investment horizon (five years or more) The minimum investment is $25,000.00.
