Clarkston Capital Partners, and its predecessor firm, was founded in April 2004. We are proud of our dedication to the following characteristics:

EMPLOYEE OWNED AND OPERATED: Our principals have significant investments in the firm and manage their portfolios along side our clients. Our success is completely aligned with client success and therefore, you can be assured that we manage your wealth as if it were our own.

CLIENT FOCUSED: Our clients are sophisticated individuals and institutions, who understand and subscribe to our investment philosophy. Our investment professionals communicate with clients regularly and make ourselves available for questions, anytime. As a result, we have been fortunate to build long-lasting relationships.

KNOWLEDGE: Our principals gained their business experience as certified public accountants, corporate financial analysts and internal auditors. This foundation in financial statement analysis coupled with a passion for knowledge and research was the genesis for Clarkston.

We are true fundamentalists and continually strive to understand how businesses operate and how those operations are reflected in the financial statements.

DISCIPLINED INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY: Clarkston is dedicated to its singular investment philosophy. We are value investors and focus on purchasing quality companies.

OBJECTIVITY: Clarkston Capital is an employee-owned fee-only investment management firm. We are completely independent from all investment and insurance products. We do not sell products or accept any type of commission or referral revenue.

INTEGRITY: Clarkston Capital conducts business in accordance with stringent legal, regulatory, and ethical standards. Our professionals are members of the CFA Institute, Detroit Society of Financial Analysts, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and Michigan Association of Certified Public Accountants. Our Credo guides our attitude towards clients and stakeholders and governs our investment decisions.
