/24-7PressRelease/ - October 11, 2007 - Coho Partners Ltd. is pleased to announce their recent hiring as a Large Cap Core manager by Concord Wealth Management. Concord Wealth Management is growing rapidly adding bank trust departments, RIA's and other "advisory groups" to its highly consultative open architecture platform. Their recent hiring of Coho Partners Ltd. gives testament to their innovative approach and rapid success. Kirk Loury, CIO of Concord states, "Selecting investment products is much more than brand name and market share. We believe that the investment community shortchanges portfolio construction by ignoring the investment capabilities of boutique investment firms. Coho Partners Ltd. exemplifies an investment team singularly devoted to a specific investment process, with a service orientation you would expect from such devotion."
Peter Thompson, founder and CIO of Coho Partners Ltd. comments, "Coho Partners is looking forward to partnering with Concord Wealth Management, as we believe they are providing a unique platform to reach an under served market for many individual investors and smaller institutions. Our philosophy focuses on preserving principal during difficult periods while providing meaningful participation during rising markets, and is well suited for Concord's target markets. Moreover, a long term investment horizon tends to produce very low turnover and hence very tax efficient returns."
Coho Partners Ltd. currently has $300 MM under management in their stable growth/large cap core equity strategy, while Concord currently offers its services to more than 30 bank trust departments, RIA's, and other "advisory entities."
