Kopernik Global Investors is a global equity investment management specialist focused on a fundamental, bottom-up, and value-oriented process. Our job is to appraise businesses and take advantage of market inefficiencies. We never knowingly overpay, as value is not a philosophy - it is a prerequisite. We highly value independent thought and prefer to do our own research and analysis, where we have high conviction and more faith in our own conclusions than in the mainstream consensus. This often leads to portfolios with high active share and compellingly low correlation to benchmarks and our peers, providing meaningful diversification benefits to investors. Kopernik is 100% employee-owned. The firm was founded in July 2013 by Dave Iben, the Managing Member, Founder, and Chief Investment Officer. Kopernik was built on the same investment philosophy and time-tested investment process that Dave Iben has been successfully developing over his 41-year career. As of December 31, 2023 Kopernik has 42 employees and manages approximately $6 billion (managed and advisory-only) across global and international equity strategies.

Suncoast Equity Management, LLC, is dedicated to providing you with what we believe is a time-tested strategy with proven success. Established in 1997, we are an investment management firm in Tampa, Florida. As a registered investment advisor, we offer a portfolio of stocks in carefully selected, high-quality corporations. This portfolio of stocks is designed for the long term, and has delivered above-average returns and less risk. Our approach for long-term investment begins by selecting a group of companies that meet the stringent criteria of Suncoast Equity Management’s Disciplined Investment System (SEM-DIS). Through this 5-step system, our investment management experts employ the proven philosophy of Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham. Like Graham and Buffett, we believe true wealth is created through investing in top-quality companies for the long term. Our successful investment management strategy was created and is supervised by our President and Chief Investment Officer, Donald R. Jowdy. With business experience of more than 20 years, Mr. Jowdy has studied the investment techniques of the world’s leading investors. His extensive research shows that the investment principles of Graham and Buffett yield long-term results. Using the SEM-DIS, our investment advisors are able to invest successfully because we think in terms of years, not days, weeks, or months. Investing in common stocks over the long haul is indeed profitable, but in order to do well investors must be focused on the long term. Sudden changes in the stock market can be expected in the short term. Managed properly, stock market price fluctuations should not jeopardize one’s future. Our investment management principles have attracted clients from far and wide. We serve a diverse group of clients, including high net-worth individuals, trust funds, endowments, foundations, corporations, retirement accounts, and financial planners in search of investment opportunities for their clients.
