Empirical evidence into the nature of investment returns in the major world markets shows the superiority of investing in high quality companies. We believe that diversity in ethnicity, gender, and geographic background amongst staff provides a direct parallel to the diversity of thought, experience and conceptual models necessary for investment outperformance.
Since inception, First Avenue has followed an owner-managed structure with staff owning 85% of the company. Together with co-investment, our outcomes are very closely aligned with that of our clients.
