IMA's Promise to Clients
IMA is anything but just another Wall Street firm, and therefore not everyone who knocks on our door is an appropriate client for us.
Our clients are our partners, and just like partners in a marriage, we need to share the same values. Our values are spelled out in Six Commandments of Value Investing.
We promise to be honest and transparent with our partners. We will invest their money with the same thoughtfulness, care, diligence, and slight hint of paranoia that we employ in investing our own (easy for us to do, as nearly all the liquid net worth of our portfolio managers and their families is invested in the same stocks our clients own).
We are a firm with a soul, and we’ll never do anything that would put our interests before those of our clients.
We’re not trying to be the biggest investing firm, just the best one. In addition to striving to provide great true-risk-adjusted returns, we’ll deliver excellent customer service and a one-of-a-kind client experience.
