Our Process
 THOR Investment has a time-tested, disciplined approach to investing. We are a "total portfolio" manager using an actively diversified investment approach. We believe that a portfolio should be diversified, and excess returns can be achieved by overweighting undervalued asset classes and investment styles. The chart below demonstrates the disparity in returns that have occurred among investment styles at various times over the past 20 years.
