Friendly culture - Anonymous employee Brummer & Partners Employee Review

Highly competent colleagues who challenge and inspire each other. A caring and respectful employer, good benefits. A positive, collaborative culture where people are valued for their skills and contributions.

Not necessarily a con, but high expectations and performance standards – not a place if you prefer a slower pace.

Fairly open minded and patient, despite what headlines of fund shutdowns may indicate.

The group as a whole has been run like a 'one-person makes all the decisions show' the past 30 years and it shows. Complete lack of innovation and trying to model themselves half-heartly on the pod shops with little success. New teams brought in are mediocre as the cream goes elsewhere. A strange biz model where each fund is a separate company with its own regulatory license and oversight, combined with the partnership owning a significant stake and bloated group overhead costs being allocated to the underlying fund companies, results in questionable economics. Past several years of returns is proof in the pudding.
