Turner Investments

Turner Investments manages growth, global/international, and alternative separately managed accounts and mutual funds.

Turner Investments manages growth, global/international, and alternative separately managed accounts and mutual funds. We define ourselves in three ways. One, our culture is one of collaboration and accountability. Two, our research is conducted by investment teams that focus on specific market sectors. And three, we embrace innovation -- we are open to new ideas. In 1990 we started Turner Investments in Berwyn, Pennsylvania, in a cramped office with a few computers and low overhead. Staff members took little or no compensation that first year. Original staffers included two brothers, Bob and Mark Turner, and Chris McHugh. (Bob is now chairman and chief investment officer, Mark is president and senior portfolio manager, and Chris is vice chairman and senior portfolio manager.) As Mark notes, “We saw an opportunity and thought of doing something on our own. Our biggest advantage was our naiveté; we didn’t recognize the pitfalls of starting a business. We had enough assets under management to keep the lights on and pay the bills.” By the end of the first year, however, our assets under management totaled $112 million, and we were on our way. Today we manage approximately $10.7 billion (as of December 31, 2012).
