Grandeur Peak Team Embarks on “West Coast Tour 2016” RV Trip
Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) August 16, 2016 -- Grandeur Peak Global Advisors, a boutique micro to mid-cap global equities investment firm located in Salt Lake City, Utah, embarked this week on “West Coast Tour 2016” in an RV. The Grandeur Peak team has divided into five teams, with each team taking a one-week leg of the journey from Canada to Mexico, including stops all along the west coast of the United States. The teams will be meeting with current portfolio companies and prospective investments, connecting with clients, and enjoying a unique team building experience aboard a 37’ recreational vehicle.
Grandeur Peak Global Advisors recently celebrated its five-year anniversary. The firm was founded by Robert Gardiner, Blake Walker and Eric Huefner with the goal of becoming the preeminent global, small cap investment firm. The research team scours the globe in search of small best-in-class growth companies that are still growing quickly and lesser known. The process involves screening over 30,000 companies and then diving in with fundamental, hands-on research of the most interesting companies.
For a firm that has a unique way of looking at the world, this event is no surprise. In speaking of the RV trip, Eric Huefner, President said: “This trip is Robert’s brainchild based on an experience shared by one of our interns. The trip has actually been a couple of years in the planning. Visiting companies and talking with management teams is a key component of our research process. Driving an RV thousands of miles is one more way to get close to the companies and the people that are at the heart of what we do as a firm.”
According to Robert Gardiner, CEO, the trip was designed with specific goals in mind: “rigorous company due diligence, strengthening relationships with clients and building our team culture, while experiencing the beauty of the land along the way. We are passionate about our culture and see this as a way to accomplish our investment research goals while building our collaborative team. We’re also including a service component on each leg because giving back to our global community is another important element of our firm’s culture.”
