Elevated Investing, Enduring Partnerships

We are a boutique investment manager with an independent spirit, rooted in the heart of the Midwest.

We believe in people and partnerships first, and we are committed to building long-lasting relationships with durable investment performance.

Midwest Values, Modern Approach

We’re located in Minnesota, a place known for its hard-working culture, meat raffles, and hotdishes. It’s this down-to-earth environment that helps inform our approach to investing.

We believe in the power of simplicity and focusing on the fundamentals.
