McDonald's remains one of our favorite holdings. Our reasoning is quite simple. With 32,000 restaurants, 75%which are franchised, one of the most recognizable brands on the planet, we would hate to have to duplicate their success as a competitor. Competition is fierce, but we expect their brand to remain at the top of the food chain for years to come. We are also happy to collect $ 2.44 per share in dividends as well as participate in the success of the company.
MCD represents 3.95% of our portfolio.
