Philosophy

We believe that emerging managers offer a compelling opportunity for achieving above-benchmark returns, particularly within less efficient asset classes. The money managers we select tend to be focused on out-performing their peers, and are driven by a conviction in their investment thesis. They exemplify the entrepreneurial spirit and next-generation of innovative thinking that we believe characterizes Bivium’s culture.

Our philosophy has been developed into a systematic process that enables us to identify, perform due diligence on, monitor, and replace managers so that our clients get the benefit of active portfolio management. The challenge inherent in investing in emerging managers is the process of identifying quality managers early, and understanding and evaluating specific risks associated with each firm.

Our professionals have, on average, more than a decade of experience in manager due diligence and specific experience identifying emerging managers at Bivium and at prior organizations.
