Investments:
Progress Reports from Mitchell, Vaught, and Taylor.
Our beginning value of $3,226,438 gained $22,933 or .70%, to an ending value of $3,374,371 at year end
2014. Decline in oil prices and a relatively strong economy have kept foreign investments in the U.S. Bond
market stable. However, the possibility of rising internet rates later in the year or early 2016 will have them
looking for longer duration yields and a stable portfolio. They are getting closer to our performance target
and were closing the gap last quarter to our benchmark.
Progress Reports from Great Lakes Advisors.
Our beginning value was $2,567,939 and gained $ 109,722 or 4.06%, for an ending value of $2,802,711 .
They expect our benchmark Russell 3000 to outperform the S&P 500 long term, and also expect volatility to
be good for active value managers. The All CAP matched the benchmark in the 4th quarter and exceeded in
an unaudited report for January 2015. Positions adding to the success in Q4 were Apple Inc, Quest
Diagnostics, and Incyte Corp.
