who we are

A team built on experience and insight.

Our Story

Westfield was founded in 1989 and returned to independent, employee ownership in 2009. Today, we have a sharpened focus on serving institutional clients, but the same commitment to U.S. growth equity investing that has guided us from the beginning.

our philosophy

Built on research. Guided by experience.

Our philosophy centers on identifying under-appreciated growth at reasonable valuations. We believe stock prices follow earnings growth and that team-based, research-led investing leads to consistency through market cycles.
