The company was originally established in 2001 out of its predecessor firm with Mark Stitzer and the original founder coming together to focus on the belief that “compounding income is a better way to preserve purchasing power, reduce volatility, and grow capital relative to the myriad of investment strategies and products that have beguiled institutions and individuals over recent decades.” Hamlin Capital Management conducts its research internally and externally, utilizing a fundamental and technical methodology to make its investment decisions.

The company holds its allocations for just over 11 quarters on average although the firm only holds its top 10 allocations, which make up over a third of its total holdings, for 2.6 quarters on average. In the most recent quarter, Hamlin Capital Management had a turnover rate of approximately 30.8%.
