Because it works.

Our Performance

While a history of proven performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance, our consistent longer term track records are evidence of how effective is our approach to investing. At Cardinal, we credit our long-term success as much to our performance in the bull markets as we do to our ability to hold value in the bear markets.
