At Amplify, we believe in the power of boutique asset managers. Their size allows them to be more flexible and responsive to market dynamics than larger firms. They can often identify and act on opportunities more swiftly, which is crucial in today’s fast-paced markets. 

Building long-term relationships 

Building long-term relationships with boutique asset managers is essential. Their agility, expertise, and ability to seize opportunities in volatile markets make them invaluable partners.  

Seeking consistent outperformance 

Our commitment to partnering with boutique managers stems from a belief in their ability to generate consistent, long-term outperformance. We seek out managers who have a proven track record of skill and expertise. Their ability to repeat that skill is crucial for delivering consistent returns to our clients. 

Aligning with investment philosophies 

It’s also important to align with managers who share Amplify’s investment philosophy. We believe in active management and a bottom-up, research-driven approach. Our partner managers must demonstrate a similar commitment to these principles.
