Interview Highlights: Lisa Z. Ramirez of Denver Investments on Investing Strategies

October 6, 2016

Lisa Z. Ramirez discusses Denver Investments as well as the Westcore Small-Cap Value Dividend and Westcore Mid-Cap Value Dividend Funds. Ms. Ramirez’s investment philosophy is based on four tenets: focusing on cash flow, rather than earnings or revenue growth; investing in quality businesses that pay a dividend; buying businesses on sale; and making team-based decisions. According to Ms. Ramirez, this approach makes sense in all market conditions because dividend-paying stocks have historically outperformed the market and done so with less risk. In addition, Ms. Ramirez expects to participate in up markets and protect capital in down markets because she invests in companies with a lower payout ratio that can grow their dividends over time.
