Parnassus




Parnassus Investments serves the growing community of investors who believe their assets should be chosen with a conscience as well as financial savvy. They industriously research all aspects of a company's operations to determine whether they meet their social investment criteria and have good prospects for future earnings. It was founded in 1984. The fund invests in companies of any size, from smaller firms to larger, well-established firms and looks to invest in companies that are undervalued, but have strong financial prospects. 

The Parnassus Fund uses a contrarian investment strategy, investing in stocks that are out of favor with the financial community and are, therefore, undervalued. The fund looks for companies whose financial strength and resilience suggest that their stock is likely to increase in value over time.
 
The Parnassus Mid-Cap Fund invests in medium-sized companies that have promising growth prospects and also have proven businesses. The strategy is to have better established businesses while smaller companies tend to have better prospects for growth.  The Mid-Cap Fund strikes a balance by trying to find undiscovered gems that have well-established business.
 
The Parnassus Small-Cap Fundinvests in smaller-sized companies with smaller market capitalization. They look for smaller companies that have excellent, long-term growth prospects.
 
The Parnassus Workplace Fund invests in companies with outstanding workplaces. The philosophy behind this fund is that companies whose employees love going to work will do better than companies with poor workplaces. When investing in this fund, Parnassus also considers a company's financial strength and its environmental and social policies. This fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investing primarily in companies that the adviser considers to have good workplaces for their employees. The strategy is to conduct their own research to find companies that meet their criteria. 

This unique approach to investing coupled with the solid performance of their funds prompted the media to dub Parnassus a well doing good mutual company.
