Corda Investment Management Sets Foundation for Growth with New Website and Hire

Feb. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- HOUSTON – Corda Investment Management, a full-service money manager, is banking on the belief that in the economic and market environment ahead, investors will increasingly look to their firm as a fee-based advisor providing clients with attractive income and growth in a conservatively managed portfolio.

To that end, the company recently unveiled a new website – www.cordamanagement.com – and announced a pivotal new hire – John Schloegel – as head of Portfolio Management.

“As we emerge from this recession, people are reconsidering their investment strategies and seeking out qualified investment managers who can help them protect their assets as well as generate attractive returns,” said Bonner C. Barnes, president and chief investment officer of Corda. “More specifically, we are value investors with a focus on dividends, who come to companies in a contrarian way when they are out of fashion with Wall Street.”  

That philosophy is highlighted on the website, along with other sections on services, management and clients. There is also an investment center, replete with stock quotes and financial calculators, and a section on the firm’s philanthropic efforts.

“Our website is a reflection of who we are to our existing clients and the outside world,” added Barnes.

And the outside world is certainly taking note as evidenced by Barnes’ recent interview on CNBC, which is linked on the Corda home page -- http://www.cordamanagement.com/pages/cordaServices.aspx?s....

Aside from the website, the firm’s hiring this winter of Schloegel is another step toward a state-wide, and even national, footprint.

Schloegel has more than 20 years of experience in the capital markets.  His expertise with large cap global equities was honed at Fisher Investments in Woodside, Calif.  Later, he was director of investment strategies for Austin-based Capital Cities Asset Management, a tactical, sector, and momentum-oriented money manager.  

“The opportunity to work with someone like Bonner Barnes was too good to pass up,” said Schloegel. “Our collective experience as a team will allow us to more fully leverage the opportunities that will arise in 2011 and beyond.”
