Jerome Dodson Investing Philosophy

The Parnassus Mid Cap Growth Fund invests in U.S. mid-cap companies with long-term competitive advantages, quality management teams and good ESG practices. It also looks for companies that are gaining market share and have long runways for growth through established business models and proven financials. It also avoids highly leveraged companies and those associated with the production of fossil fuels, tobacco, alcohol and certain other industries.
