Faris Jafar, Founder & Chief Investment Officer“Early in my career I was fortunate to have worked at firms that emphasized a culture of integrity – this was a very formative experience for me.
As part of the firm’s culture, the founder insisted on dedicating time to have team lunch everyday. The most powerful advice from those discussions was the importance of partnering with people that you like and trust.
Now that I am the fiduciary for my client-partners, this truth is clearer than ever. I am honored to be in their service and forever grateful for their partnership. The greatest reward above all is the feeling of being trusted.”
