Who we are
Fred Alger Management, LLC is widely recognized as a pioneer of growth-style investment management. We have been an independent, privately owned firm since our founding in 1964. For more than 50 years, we have had
three leaders with one vision: Maintaining the legacy and continuity of the Alger Investment Philosophy.
Philosophy
Alger has been committed to a growth style of investing since the Firm was founded in 1964. We believe that the best way to uncover and evaluate such companies is through intensive, fundamental, proprietary investment research. At Alger, we believe companies undergoing
Positive Dynamic Change offer the best investment opportunities. By Positive Dynamic Change, we mean those companies experiencing High Unit Volume Growth and Positive Life Cycle Change.
