The Boston Company Asset Management, LLC traces its roots back to Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company which first opened its doors to the public on June 1, 1875. Today, the firm is a highly-regarded fundamental active equity manager, whose success has been built on the responsibility of each employee to themselves, to their colleagues, and to our valued clients at every opportunity, every single day. We serve the investment needs of public, corporate, defined benefit and defined contribution plans, as well as Taft-Hartley, endowment/foundation and sub-advised relationships and the retail marketplace.
Our research-based culture, which we consider to be among our most valued assets, emphasizes teamwork and collaboration across asset classes, sectors, industries, and investment disciplines in constant pursuit of the best investment ideas. Our firm offers a number of incentives designed to attract and retain best-in-class investment professionals. First and foremost is our firm's collegial culture. We have a reputation among employees and clients as a firm where very smart, humble, driven individuals are assembled in an open team atmosphere wherein the free exchange of ideas is encouraged. Our senior management takes particular pride in the attention that has been placed on the creation and management of this unique environment.
Another key incentive is the opportunity we have created for all employees to feel the pride of ownership that comes from having every opportunity to make a material impact on what we do. Our intentionally flat organizational structure encourages an open door policy. Talent management is a priority here, which no doubt contributes to our relatively low employee turnover rate.
