Wunderlich Capital Management

Wunderlich Capital Management, L.L.C. is an investment advisory firm whose mission is to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing in relatively large capitalization companies that possess above average growth prospects and trade at attractive valuation levels. We believe that our growth at a reasonable price philosophy will lead to favorable relative returns on a more consistent basis as opposed to engaging in a value vs. growth debate.

Equity portfolios are constructed by combining a top-down approach to industry sectors with a bottom-up approach to stock selection. After compiling an approved list of well-positioned companies in attractive industries, we set price objectives on each security based on historical relative and absolute valuations while considering revenue and earnings growth prospects. Shares are purchased at prices that will allow a sufficient return relative to our price objective, usually targeted at 20% over 12-18 months.

Wunderlich Capital also manages balanced portfolios for income and growth. It combines the equity philosophy and process with a 20-40% allocation to income-oriented investments. The target allocation will depend on several factors including individual client circumstances, the absolute level of interest rates, and the S&P 500 earnings yield relative to yields on long-dated Treasuries and corporate bonds. Wunderlich Capital may use treasury, agency, municipal and corporate bonds as well as straight and convertible preferred stocks, REITs, utility stocks, and publicly traded energy partnerships in its income component. It may also choose to use some mutual funds and bond market exchange traded funds (ETFs) for all or part of its income allocation. After determining a target allocation of stocks to income, the mix of income investments will depend on the relative value among the instruments in terms of spreads and also on the desired duration of the income allocation.
