New Amsterdam Partners is an asset management firm founded on an innovative philosophy: an intellectually rigorous and disciplined blend of quantitative and fundamental investment research will produce superior stock selection. New Amsterdam Partners was founded in 1986 to bridge the chasm between the methods of quantitative and fundamental stock analysis. Discerning the strengths and limits of each, Michelle Clayman, CFA, Managing Partner & CIO, developed an approach that integrates both disciplines to yield a decisive and intellectually sound edge in stock selection. We serve a diverse range of clients, including institutions, individuals through managed account programs, as well as traditional high net worth accounts. Among our clientele are prominent state and local retirement systems, Taft-Hartley pension plans, and Fortune 500 companies, as well as national not for profit groups. Our team of investment professionals puts that investment approach into practice. The members of our team have extensive experience in market and security analysis, portfolio construction and client service. The majority of the firm’s investment professionals hold the Chartered Financial Analyst® designation, and we require junior members to work towards obtaining the designation as well. The firm is 100 percent employee-owned, aligning the team’s goals with those of our clients.
