Stability, long a hallmark of this predepression era fund, has been the key to its recent success as well. That starts with veteran managers Edward Bousa and John Keogh. In July, they passed the eight-year mark in their shared tenure as leads of the equity and fixed-income portfolios, respectively. At this point, each one knows well how the other works. Bousa keeps equity exposure centered at 65% of the fund’s assets. He invests about half of that stake in stocks with above-average yields relative to the S&P 500 Index and whose firms are competitively positioned. Top-five holding Merck MRK, for example, has a stout dividend and revenue base, and Bousa believes the market is underestimating its current and future drug lineup’s growth potential. The equity portfolio’s other half is split between stocks poised to benefit from supply-and-demand dynamics, like the rising oil prices, and growth names bought on dips. For example, Bousa initiated a small position in Google GOOG during its brief share-price lull in the second quarter. The mix

results in a fairly all-weather equity portfolio. Keogh, meanwhile, invests his roughly 35% fixed-income stake in higher-quality issues, keeping duration within a year of the Barclays U.S. Credit A or Better benchmark. As of November 2014, duration stood at 6.5 years, a bit shorter than the index’s 6.7 but still above the typical moderate-allocation rival’s 4.4 years. While that leaves the fund potentially more vulnerable to rising interest rates than most peers, it’s been a boon lately, as, contrary to market sentiment, rates have fallen in 2014. Whether interest rates fall or rise management’s consistent process should lead to competitive long-term results. But that does not preclude a strong short-term showing either. Thus far in 2014, the fund has also benefited from its heavy equity stake in health care, one of the better performing sectors, and its tilt toward larger-cap stocks. Through November, both have helped the fund to a 10% top-decile year-to-date return. The fund’s investors should stay put.
