About Tower Bridge Advisors

Tower Bridge Advisors

Tower Bridge Advisors was founded in 2001 with a mission to provide high quality investment advice alongside outstanding client service. We manage equity and fixed income portfolios comprised of individual stocks and bonds. Our clients choose us because of our commitment to investment research, our experience in managing client portfolios and our laser like focus on our clients' needs. Our nine investment professionals each have, on average, more than 25 years' experience researching investment opportunities, and managing portfolios through up as well as down markets. Our investment process starts with a clear understanding of each client's unique financial situation, and takes into account their tax status and tolerance for risk. Only by understanding these factors can we develop an appropriate investment solution. Our rigorous investment process results in a customized asset allocation for each client. Each client's portfolio is constructed of 35-40 stocks which represent the best ideas of our investment team, and an appropriate allocation to bonds to achieve the client's requirement for income and stability. Tower Bridge Advisors manages over $1.8 Billion for individuals and families. We have one focus, and that is to customize portfolios for the benefit of our clients. We have an experienced team that brings great perspective and expertise to every relationship. And we are committed to the highest level of customer service. We are available to meet clients in person or by phone and we are willing to meet as frequently as our clients desire. We also provide a brief market commentary 3 days per week to keep clients up to date on our latest thinking.

Peter Gellman is the Managing Member of Palmerston Group Advisors, L.L.C. Founded in 1997, Palmerston Group provides independent, unbiased financial and investment advisory services based on fundamental analysis and margin of safety principles.
Peter Gellman has worked as a teacher, analyst, and advisor. Before starting Palmerston, he taught at Oxford as a member of its international relations faculty, as well as at Princeton, where he was Research Fellow and Lecturer in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He holds a law degree as well as a Ph.D. in international relations.

About Palmerston Group Advisors, LLC

Palmerston Group Advisors, LLC

Palmerston Group Advisors, a firm best known for its Margin of Safety discipline, built its strategy only after carefully studying the best in the business. Consider: 1. Few fund managers have genuinely market-beating records of ten or more years. 2. Most of this elite group uses a version of Margin of Safety, the skill of buying assets when "on sale" at a deep discount to their true value. Most excel in bear markets. 3. Few advisors strategically focus on these top managers or their investment ideas when creating client portfolios. Nor do many independent firms focus on these managers when offering allocation advice. In contrast, Palmerston sees these top managers as a huge asset for our clients. We start with what works best, and thus use Margin of Safety for all clients. For client portfolios, we use the ideas and often the (no-load) funds of managers with proven, profitable records.

About QEX Asset Management

QEX Asset Management

QEX is a systematic investing firm that uses a disciplined and rule-based approach to financial markets. Investment decisions are guided by predefined strategies and algorithms rather than human intuition. This method relies on the systematic application of quantitative models and statistical analysis to identify and exploit patterns, trends, and anomalies within the market. The goal of systematic investing is to remove emotional biases and subjectivity from decision-making, relying instead on empirical data and historical patterns to inform investment choices.
