Academy Asset Management Announces its Inauguration

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Academy Asset Management, a certified disabled veteran-owned and operated business, is pleased to announce the firm’s inauguration. A unique emerging D&I manager, Academy Asset Management is an SEC Registered Investment Advisor focusing on fixed income funds and separately managed accounts. Academy Asset Management uses a client-centric approach to help investors meet their goals.

Academy Securities, a FINRA registered broker-dealer, certified disabled veteran-owned business, and Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), will be the exclusive distributor of the firm’s advisory services. Academy Securities and Academy Asset Management are affiliated and share the same mission; both firms are committed to community impact and training opportunities for veterans, pairing the best Wall Street veterans with high-potential military veterans.

“We are extremely proud that Academy Asset Management is the nation’s first institutional asset manager owned 100% by military veterans,” stated Academy Securities and Academy Asset Management’s Chairman and CEO Chance Mims, “We look forward to giving our clients flexibility and custom solutions to meet their specific needs while positively impacting the military veteran community.”

The Firm has built a strong foundation to manage portfolios, being led by the Former Head of Bank Portfolio Management at Northern Trust, Seth Rosenthal. Mr. Rosenthal oversaw over $100 Billion in global fixed income and money market assets across a range of duration and credit mandates and brings this expertise to Academy Asset Management as the firm’s Chief Investment Officer. He is joined by Portfolio Manager and Army Veteran, John Gilmore, previously of the Vanguard Group.

“Academy Asset Management adopted the same social mission to mentor, hire, and train veterans as Academy Securities, and that hiring initiative will be key to our reinvestment strategy as we earn opportunities in the marketplace,” stated Academy Asset Management’s Seth Rosenthal.
