We are very pleased to announce that the Paradigm Select Fund (PFSLX) has once again been named a Category King by the Wall Street Journal for year-to-date performance through August. As we look ahead to the remainder of 2024 and on to 2025, we remain focused on providing best-in-class investments to create long-term outperformance for our clients.

Recent market volatility might understandably encourage investors to consider exiting the equity markets until calmer days return. Although timing the market may be tempting during tumultuous periods, it is important to remember the demonstrated benefit of remaining invested in high-quality holdings through periods of volatility. Over the past 30 years, an investor missing just the 10 best days of performance in the S&P would result in a greater than 50% reduction of return, versus remaining invested through the entire 30-year period.   Paradigm Capital was founded thirty years ago on the principle of employing a bottom-up research approach designed to identify companies with durable balance sheets and quality management teams that can navigate the difficult periods and emerge stronger on the inevitable other side.

On this day in 1963 the Equal Pay Act was signed into law as part of President Kennedy’s New Frontier Program. As a women-owned firm, Paradigm Capital Management has been proud to promote equal opportunities for all over the past 30 years.

As Women’s History Month comes to a close Paradigm Capital Management continues to celebrate the ongoing success of women within our firm and throughout the financial sector. We applaud the recently launched Women’s Initiative at Columbia University’s Institute of Global Politics and the Initiative’s inaugural fellow Stacey Abrams for their efforts to create actionable policy proposals to ensure women and girls around the globe become economically secure. Read more about the initiative below. https://lnkd.in/gpXFvgUV

Today is #InternationalWomensDay, which was first recognized by the United Nations in 1977. This year, the UN’s theme for IWD is “Invest in women: Accelerate progress”. We recognize the progress towards equality that has been made over the past 47 years of IWD and look forward to continued efforts to accelerate opportunities and equality for women across all industries. At woman-founded and women-owned Paradigm Capital Management, we will continue to invest in advancing the careers of women in the investment management industry in the years to come.
