North Square Caps Fifth Anniversary Year with The 4100 Group Investment

Chicago, IL (August 22, 2023) – North Square Investments (North Square), a multi-boutique manager with a range of equity, fixed income and multi-strategy product offerings, has capped its fifth anniversary year with a strategic capital investment from The 4100 Group. Terms of the investment were not disclosed.

“The strategic investment from The 4100 Group has provided North Square with significant additional capital to allow us to continue to progress with our ambitious growth plans,” said North Square CEO and Co-founder Mark Goodwin. “And it caps an anniversary year of positive and growing retail fund flows—for the past three years and year-to-date 2023—and strong performance across our North Square suite of diverse product offerings.”

Founded in the summer of 2018, North Square’s combined platform assets under management have grown from over $1 billion to $10.9 billion today. As of July 31, 2023, North Square had $1.3 billion of assets under management (AUM) in 12 mutual funds. With North Square’s ownership interests (majority and minority, respectively) in the distinctly branded firms of CS McKee ($8.2B AUM) and Oak Ridge Investments (approximately $1.4B AUA), collective assets under management and advisement totaled $10.9 billion.

Goodwin stated that proceeds from The 4100 Group’s capital investment are expected to fund a number of important strategic firm initiatives, such as acquisitions, new product launches and sales team additions.

“We are excited at the opportunity to deepen our existing relationship with the North Square team and look forward to being part of their continued success,” said Mike Gilmore, President and CEO of The 4100 Group. “They have been very thoughtful in the development of their platform and know how to compete every day, which is something we look for in a long-term partner,” he continued.

“With our differentiated investments, high quality and experienced subadvisors and current AUM relationships with over 500 retail firms and more than 9,000 advisors and teams, we believe North Square will continue on a significant growth trajectory,” Goodwin said.
