As an independent manager that is majority owned by employees, Cortina is squarely focused on exceeding client objectives. Formed in 2004 by a highly regarded team of investment professionals, Cortina Asset Management specializes in small cap portfolio management for public and private institutions, as well as high net worth individuals, in the U.S. and abroad.  Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin Cortina is a long-only separate account manager with more than 100 years of combined investment staff experience.   

Cortina's small cap strategies maintain the market and time tested philosophy, discipline and process that made each product highly successful earlier in the decade at US Bancorp.  The Small Cap Growth and Small/Mid Cap Growth strategies employ a "thematic based" approach to investing in vibrant and innovative growth companies.  The Small Cap Opportunity strategy utilizes a "franchise company" framework to capture established industry leaders with strong and growing cash flows.  All three investment strategies are unique to the marketplace in terms of investment philosophy and process.
