Investors

Investors and shareholders depend upon The Hamister Group, Inc. to deliver strong bottom lines, maximize profitability, and increase asset value. Our relationship with investors is based on trust, honesty, and accountability. The Hamister Group, Inc. has a proactive investor relations philosophy and an attractive investment history.

Wealth development is our primary obligation to our shareholders. We select asset hold periods according to many factors, including location, market condition, market condition trends, buying lows, and selling highs. We maximize property performance while sharing the rewards of profitability with our co-workers.

Our healthcare portfolio is owned almost exclusively by our CEO, Mark Hamister. He has elected to forgo or suppress the target dividend of 8.0% per annum in order to fund a comprehensive Business Development Group. In so doing, Mr. Hamister is investing his own money in the growth process without passing on the majority of this cost to the shareholders of the newly acquired or developed properties.

We believe that all systems and programs must align the interests of customers, co-workers, and shareholders.
Our goal is superior performance even during times of economic downturn. We believe that we can reasonably achieve this result by focusing on:

  • Revenue management principles that recognize the rate and the availability of customers during all cycles of the economy.
  • Proper internet sales strategies which maximize shoulder days and shoulder seasons.
  • Positioning our hotels in the middle of the market: this reduces the drag from economic downturn and drives more customers from high-end to middle-market hotels.
  • Positioning our health care properties as high-end service providers for the discriminating private-pay market.
  • Developing programs and services which allow our customers to develop an extraordinary level of loyalty.
  • Cost control and flexible time control systems allow us to maintain a representative level of cost adjusted to our revenue streams.
  • To be an active purchaser especially during economic downturns, when prices are at their lowest. To be an active Seller during economic peaks and when assets are near full maturity and development, creating the highest level of return (usually a six to eight year hold for hotels and a 15 -year hold for healthcare properties).
