At Crawford, we have always invested in U.S. companies with the belief that our economic system, while far from perfect, is the best system in the world. This is a characterization of our common sense approach, and we maintain this belief despite the fact that it has been out of favor with conventional wisdom in recent years. Due in part to our preference for fair markets, adequate financial disclosure, and a culture of innovation and growth, we are solely focused on U.S.-centric investments.

In this episode, we sit down with John Crawford, IV, our Managing Director of Equity Investments, to discuss how and why this longstanding tenet of our investment approach has benefitted our investors through the years. In addition to being available on our website, we are pleased that our podcasts are available on Spotify, Apple Music, or wherever you get your podcasts.
