A BRIEF HISTORY
With over a decade of experience, and founded by a group of passionate people currently headed by Larry Pike and operating in San Francisco we are dedicated to innovation to help our partners reach their financial goals.
We have been able to identify the right investments, and as a company, we take responsible investments seriously by combining a rich heritage of asset management expertise with a simple, even old-fashioned investment philosophy, a belief in the importance of keeping a long term perspective and of doing our research and that there are no shortcuts to investing successfully. We believe that these qualities are key to providing investors around the world with consistently superior returns over the long term.
Our Purpose is to Create a more invested world together so that all our clients can be better off. We invest in your families, careers, and relationships – but what if you were just as invested in your financial futures? You can’t realize your full potential if you sit on the sidelines, only think about the short term, or think you have to go it alone.
At Partfield, we want to create a more invested world, partnering with advisors to help you become more knowledgeable, more educated, and more invested so you can meet your full potentials.

A long term, risk concious approach
Across our private markets strategies is a
long-term focus, a risk-conscious investment philosophy, in-house sector
expertise, and strong internal governance. Our private markets business units are supported
by board governance and
investment committees with independent legal, compliance, and risk teams that hold asset
management expertise.
A commitment to sustainability
Responsible stewardship of our client's
capital is integral to our business and culture, and we seek
to be a global leader in
creating long-term value for our stakeholders. The incorporation of ESG
considerations
starts with the integration of ESG
factors into our investment analysis and due diligence process.
In segments where we
own and operate assets, we hold
ourselves to a high standard of stewardship
and sustainability. We do this to both
protect and grow the value of those
assets and for the benefit
of the communities they touch. where we don't directly own
assets, we're commited to
intensive
due diligence and engagement with our partners and asset owners.

A company with integrity
Integrity has been a core value since we were founded. It's how, through panics, recessions, and the recent pandemic, we've grown into a global financial leader. We've never lost our focus on our clients. That's who we are.
-
We have more than $5 billion in assets under management and administration.
-
We maintain leadership positions in each of our core business segments: Advice & Wealth Management, Asset Management, Annuities, and Protection.
-
We have more than 10 thousand individual, business, and institutional clients.
Relentlessly Client-Focused
We know it’s not enough to say we’re relentlessly client-focused so we prove it every day, through adaptability, ingenuity, and technology. It’s how we can proactively respond to environmental, social, and governance developments, all while providing peerless client experiences.
Unique Perspective
With a global view across billions of dollars in assets and access to one of the world’s largest financial datasets, we can see what others can’t. This unique market intelligence helps us deliver valuable insights, identify trends and innovate new ideas all in the service of our clients.
Around the globe, we participate in a wide variety of
collaborative engagements with industry peers, nonprofits,
nongovernmental organizations, and supranational entities. This
work allows us to expand the scope of our sustainability-focused
activity while helping us build more resilient portfolios. Our
collaborative engagements may focus on individual investments
and systemic risks- and sometimes both.
Our approach to collaborative engagement
Collaborative initiatives allow us to pool resources with, and to learn from, peers and
third
parties while also amplifying our influence as we encourage changes across issuers,
markets,
and policymakers to build resiliency in our investments and portfolios.
Our collaborative efforts take various forms, but typically focus on the identification
of systemic
risks (e.g., transition or physical risk related to climate change) and the collective
action we
may take to address these risks. Our activities may target change at a systemic level,
such as
through creation of a biodiversity framework for disclosure; at the industry level
through our
role on the SASB Financials Standard Advisory Group; or may target a group of companies
on
a thematic issue as through Climate Action 100+. We may also join a collaborative effort
as a
means of excalation regarding risks at a single issuer. Through this work, we never lose
sight
Collaborative Engagement
and Industry Leadership
We participate in collaborative industry initiatives on a selective and
strategic
basis. These initiatives support our core engagement program. We seek to
understand where collaboration can provide the most viable and impactful
supplement to our powerful internal capabilities.
Five key consideration for collaborative engagement
When considering participation in a collaborative engagement initiative, we weigh
the following factors:
ALIGNMENT
How closely aligned
is this engagement
opportunity with our
investment holdings?
Does it include
companies where
we are significant
shareholders?
IMPACT
POTENTIAL
Would our
participation help
the engagement
initiative? Does it
need a large
asset
manager merely to
gain attention, or
does it already have
broad
support?
RESOURCE
FOCUS
Does the
engegment
make the most
efficient use of our
internally
dedcicated
engegement
resources?
PRACTICALITY
Have we already
undertaken the same
engagement or very
similar engagements
unilaterally with
success?
TANGIBILITY
Is the scope
of the collaborative
engegement clear,
and are we confident
that it will not change
over time?
Performance
We strive to deliver the best possible risk-adjusted returns across asset classes, styles, and geographies. Above-average returns but with below-average volatility, we want to own diverse superior businesses no matter where the area located in the world. We are style agnostic we own value companies and we own what is considered growth companies, The thing about investing is no matter how much work you do, how well you know the company, how well you think you understand the business, the world is a fluid and dynamic place and you can still be wrong. It's no the winners that ultimately determine the performances it's managing your mistakes, We believe part of our advantage is that we look out beyond one or two quarters.
The market can be very short-term thinking making those judgment calls based on what we think will look like 2 years, 5 years, 10 years from now that really isn’t bigger yet. All our public investments are based on the funds we run, we think it's a good thing to do as it aligns our interest with every unitholder as they know. That anything that happens to the funds gets better otherwise we feel it as much as anyone else and this makes for a very easy conversation when we are talking to our clients.
