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

Our 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

WE 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
