Todd Ahlsten		“We want to own a select list of the best businesses that have secular tailwinds and we want to buy them when they are trading below their intrinsic value. ”
		Parnassus Equity Income Fund

The Parnassus Equity Income Fund looks for companies that not only generate income, but are also socially responsible. Portfolio manager Todd Ahlsten and his team of six analysts are trying to identify the best businesses whose goods and services will be more relevant in the long haul than they are today. The fund’s philosophy lies on the premise that these businesses combined with secular tailwinds and reasonable prices can give investors appropriate returns.
