Lawson Kroeker Investment Management Named To Financial Times' Top 300 RIA List

OMAHA, Neb., June 27, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Lawson Kroeker Investment Management announced yesterday its inclusion among the 2014 Financial Times Top 300 Registered Investment Advisers. The firm joins financial advisory firms from 37 states and Washington D.C. in being selected to the list.

"It's a great honor to be included among such elite investment advisory firms," said Tom Sudyka, CFA, managing director, president and co-portfolio manager of the Lawson Kroeker Balanced Fund. "Since 1986, we have striven to provide our clients long-term total return through patient research to uncover companies with a competitive advantage and lasting value. I am thrilled to see our team's focus, dedication and results recognized by such a prestigious publication," he added.

The firm offers balanced and equity strategies through separately managed accounts and one proprietary mutual fund. The investment team seeks long-term opportunities based on rigorous fundamental research. "We strongly believe our Midwestern location provides both physical and psychological advantages in that we can avoid many short-term views and fads that so often plague Wall Street," said Sudyka. "We adhere to a patient four-step process wherein we focus on traditional valuation metrics, such as earnings and free cash flow, and then analyze company management and their ability to generate growth."

The investment team is comprised of four experienced professionals, who hold CFA designations, and combine over a century of investment experience. Lawson Kroeker's original founders, Frank Lawson and Kenneth Kroeker, continue to actively participate in the overall investment strategy.
