We are privileged to work with an inspiring group of individuals, families, nonprofits, charities, institutions and financial intermediaries in all 50 U.S. states and around the globe.
Investment and Strategic Advisory
For our private clients, endowments, foundations and charities, portfolio management teams build investment programs tailored to their specific needs, circumstances and goals.
We do not use cookie-cutter model portfolios; instead, we tailor each portfolio to align with each client’s objectives and risk tolerance. This individualized approach allows our portfolio managers, strategic advisors and client service colleagues to draw on insights from across our research platform—spanning multiple asset classes from private investments to public securities—to identify opportunities most suitable for each client.
Our culture of teamwork extends to our belief that clients are best served by a team that includes strategic advisors. These colleagues bring expertise in governance, fiduciary and tax matters, advice to entrepreneurs, philanthropy and generational opportunities and challenges.
Creating client-first solutions marries careful listening to a client’s values, objectives and goals with thoughtful awareness of external dynamics—ensuring strategies that are both personalized and forward-looking.
Funds and Strategies
In our actively managed equity and fixed income portfolios, we strive to generate outperformance through rigorous research, high-conviction ideas and a repeatable process that is focused on long-term, risk-adjusted returns.
We believe that a bottom-up, fundamental approach to investing delivers outperformance over time. This belief remains as strong today as when we began investing on behalf of clients 25 years ago. Our independence as a firm supports this approach: We are able to focus intently on creating, and adhering to, the investment philosophy and processes that we believe will deliver results for our clients over the long term.
Our institutional and intermediary clients hire us to build and manage portfolios of companies and issuers, often with high active share, based on the collective, collaborative assessment of our investment team. Especially during volatile markets, as we experienced during the past year, our bottom-up approach, founded on valuation discipline, presents buying opportunities; volatility yields opportunity as we strive to optimize performance.

Sustainable Investing
We have over a decade of experience developing sustainable investment solutions. Through this work, we have developed a number of tools that can be used to integrate sustainable investment considerations into investment decision-making and portfolio construction that can be used across our platform, including tools to assess and report on investment risks and opportunities, engagement, and environmental and social exposure.
