Portfolio Managers

Global Mutual Funds has formed an important strategic alliance with Northern Lights Ventures.

Northern Lights was founded with the vision that investment teams should lead investment firms.

Northern Lights philosophy is centered on identifying and fostering sustainable excellence:

“Sustained investment success results from a combination of

superior investment skill and a strong, investment-centric culture”

THEY BELIEVE:

  • Boutique investment firms can better sustain investment excellence
  • Control of firms by the investment teams is integral to long-term success
  • Identifying excellence in boutique asset managers requires the combination of thorough quantitative analysis and an understanding of the qualitative drivers of success
  • A successful investment is born of the marriage between exceptional investment talent and thoughtful deal structuring
  • Investors will pay nothing for expected below average performance (when average performance is nearly free and risk free)
  • Capital providers are distinguished by their value-add beyond capital alone
