Dreman White Paper Looks at Inflation

JERSEY CITY, NJ--(Marketwire - Jun 2, 2011) - Dreman Value Management L.L.C., a leading contrarian value asset management company, today announced the firm has issued a white paper on inflation and what inflation means for investors.

The paper -- "The Case For Inflation: A Good Opportunity For Great Stock Picking" -- provides a backdrop on the current economic cycle and looks forward to its likely consequences on the investment markets. Most importantly, the paper outlines how investors should be adjusting their investment portfolios to take advantage of the coming changes.

"We're convinced the global economy will be contending with inflation, maybe very high inflation," says the paper's author, E. Clifton "Cliff" Hoover, Jr., Dreman's Chief Investment Officer. "We're also confident that in this sort of environment there is great investment opportunity in equities, particularly for those who can pick the right stocks."

The paper notes that inflation may severely damage a number of asset classes, not least of which fixed income investments, which may actually lose considerable principal value over the next few years. Conversely, the same forces that penalize cash and fixed income will favor equities.

According to Mr. Hoover, U.S. stocks featuring a sizable dividend yield may provide ample opportunity for stellar returns in the coming inflationary environment. "Even if you buy into an index fund, you stand a good chance of offsetting much or all of the inflation coming our way," he says, "but even better is the opportunity in individual stocks, with plenty of well-known names offering dividend yields well above three percent."

Dreman recently announced the launch of the Dreman Contrarian Value Equity Fund, a fund specifically designed to invest in U.S. stocks of any capitalization. Mr. Hoover, who has more than 25 years of investment experience managing portfolios for both large- and small-sized companies, will be lead manager on the new offering.
