Ellen Policow's Company Details

Bridge Creek Capital Management LLC (Bridge Creek) manages stock and bond portfolios for individuals, trusts, retirement plans, businesses, corporations, partnerships, holding companies, endowments and non-profit organizations Bridge Creek's sole owner is Barry Paster. At December 31, 2015, Bridge Creek managed $218.0 million on a discretionary basis. The firm's primary mission is to serve clients' investment needs and objectives, emphasizing personal service and attention to detail. Growth in assets after taxes and inflation; income generation; and capital preservation are typical objectives chosen by clients. Portfolios are generally composed of common stocks, preferred stocks, REITs, bonds, mutual funds and short-term cash substitutes, like money market funds and U.S. Treasury bills. Emphasis on different objectives varies with each client. Investment portfolios are designed to meet financial goals by first understanding each client's needs, objectives and expectations. Each prospective client is interviewed to form an investment profile, and determine whether Bridge Creek is appropriate to meet that client's financial objectives. Within that framework, clients either choose or are guided to what mix of investment classes (stocks, fixed income securities and cash) will likely best achieve their goals. Although Bridge Creek is granted total discretion in securities choices, occasionally clients elect to own or not to own particular companies or types of companies. Investment decisions are made with a long-term view. Short-term economic, political or news events are seldom allowed to influence long-term strategies. Bridge Creek doesn't believe short-term stock market or interest rate movements can be accurately and consistently predicted. The firm focuses on the potential long-range value inherent in ownership of any security.
