OUR TEAM

experience and history are hallmarks of good global investment management - 150+ years in the making

team driven with cognitive diversity

Lead Portfolio Manager Bernard Horn founded Polaris in April 1995 to expand an existing client base dating to the early 1980s. Bernie has been managing global equity portfolios and international equity portfolios for nearly four decades, combining investment technology and traditional fundamental research to produce top-performing portfolios. Our diverse global investment management team, including Portfolio Managers Sumanta Biswas, Bin Xiao and Jason Crawshaw, is tasked with searching worldwide to find discounted but high-quality stocks in both developed and emerging markets. 

Our investment team comes from very different backgrounds and countries, offering an immediate level of cognitive diversity.  While senior investment analysts may conduct research on companies in geographically-familiar areas, they are also tasked with critiquing companies from other locations worldwide.

All products are managed on a team basis, utilizing a consistent process and approach. The focus on team allows each global investment management member to contribute freely to the research process, while engendering an open, communicative workplace. All members of our organization work cooperatively from one office location in Boston. Our personnel, including portfolio managers, senior investment analysts, relationship managers and client service, have invested a significant amount of their personal assets in products managed or sub-advised by the firm. Very simply, our interests are aligned with those of our clients.
