Oak’s Approach
Throughout our history, Oak has remained committed to the same investment philosophy and process. We employ a dual-concentrated approach, focusing on both sector and stock level opportunities, and invest with a long-term view.
Top-Down
We identify favorable sectors poised for growth.
Bottom-Up
Within those sectors, we pinpoint high-conviction stocks
supported by strong, multi-cycle growth drivers.
In an increasingly short-term oriented investment environment, we believe investing for the long term better allows our clients to build wealth. Oak is dedicated to discovering and investing in companies with the potential to grow throughout market cycles and over time.
A Legacy You Can Trust
Since 1985, we have been committed to delivering the expertise of a large fund manager while maintaining the accessibility of a boutique firm. Specializing in U.S. equity investing, we are focused on concentrated, low-turnover and long-term holds—managing portfolios for foundations, endowments, pension plans, private clients, and shareholders of the Oak Associates Funds. Our dedication to consistency, prudence and service has fueled our growth, from launching our first two mutual funds in 1992 to expanding our offerings with five additional funds and strategies, all built around our disciplined investment philosophy.
