Monday, September 30, 2013 Jon Fisher resigned from Foundry Partners and has decided to pursue other opportunities within the asset management field. We want to thank Jon for his contributions and wish him all the best in his new endeavors.
Despite Mr. Fisher’s departure, we remain positive about the direction of the Growth Team and the direction of the company. As we announced last week, we have hired Chad Klatt to join our Growth Team, and continue to be excited about the fresh perspective and wide array of investment knowledge Mr. Klatt brings to the team. Additionally, in an effort to add further depth to our Portfolio Management group, Foundry Partners is currently in the process of adding an Equity Analyst to the Growth Strategy Team.
We believe strong leadership and team work creates a positive experience for both staff and clients of Foundry Partners. Foundry Partners, LLC is dedicated to continuing the positive team culture carried over from Fifth Third, and remain committed to growing our assets and expanding our staff, in both the short and long term.
