The portfolio, managed by John Rotonti, is designed for investors seeking long-term capital appreciation in a concentrated selection of high-quality industrial and infrastructure businesses.

The new strategy adheres to Bastion's core philosophy of fundamental value investing, focusing on companies that demonstrate high returns on invested capital, consistent and growing free cash flows, sustainable competitive advantages, and what he believes is a long runway of EPS growth. John's investment process centers on identifying excellent businesses, run by trustworthy and capable management teams and trading at attractive valuations.

"In a world of rapid technological change, the tangible assets and essential services provided by industrial and infrastructure companies form the bedrock of the global economy," said Cale Smith, CEO of Bastion Fiduciary. "We are thrilled to launch this dedicated portfolio that leverages our firm's deep expertise in fundamental analysis. We are particularly proud to have John Rotonti at the helm of this strategy. John's extensive experience in analyzing industrial companies, his disciplined investment approach, and his unwavering focus on long-term value creation make him the ideal manager to lead this unique and timely portfolio for our clients."

The strategy seeks to capitalize on long-term secular trends including supply chain optimization, domestic homebuilding, the modernization of digital infrastructure, and the buildout of the electrical grid and power generation. The portfolio currently includes a payment company, a retailer, transportation and logistics companies, and several technology companies, in addition to more traditional industrial and infrastructure firms.

John said of the new portfolio: 

"Our vision for this strategy is one of uncompromising quality. We seek to invest in best-in-class businesses with exceptional management teams. A disciplined, value-oriented approach is paramount in the industrial and infrastructure sectors, and our guiding principle is to acquire shares in what we believe are the highest-quality businesses we can find, at reasonable valuations, and with the intent to own shares for many years. I am incredibly grateful to the entire Bastion team and to our clients for entrusting us as their fiduciary."

The Bastion Industrials and Infrastructure Portfolio is available to new and existing Bastion investors at www.lastbastion.com.
