Vickers Stock Research Corporation
In 1977 Argus acquired Vickers. The subsequent purchase of Stock Research Corporation in 1983 led to the
creation of Vickers Stock Research Corporation. Combining the talents of Stock Research, a respected analyzer
of insider trading, with Vickers expertise in tracking the holdings of institutions, enables Vickers to provide
the most up-to-date information on transactions and holdings of corporate officials, significant shareholders and
institutions. Data is provided electronically, on-line, via the internet, hard copy publications and
newsletters.
Data Sources: The principal sources of data are documents filed with the SEC, portfolios furnished directly to
Vickers by US and international investors.
Quality Control: Quality control requires a tremendous amount of vigilant attention and is the responsibility
of every member of the Vickers team. The stringent quality assurance procedures include: editing, double
key-entry for all paper filings and testing by proprietary programs designed to identify any unusual entries.
Only after passing each of these checkpoints is the data updated and made available to clients.
Customer Service: A call to our Client Services department begins a chain reaction. A member of the staff
will respond to your request immediately. It is their job to get you an accurate answer as quickly as possible,
and every member of the Vickers team is ready and waiting to support them in their endeavor.

Using a bottom-up stock selection process, portfolio diversification is achieved by making equally weighted
investments in one established, financially strong, leading company in 40 to 50 different industries. Argus'
investment approach may be characterized as an "investing" as opposed to a "trading" approach with a long-term
investment horizon. Our stock selection, industry weightings and rebalancing enables Argus to capture the
long-term positive trend of the market, while taking advantage of short-term market volatility.
