Our History
Building on over 150 years of tradition.
At the root of our approach is David Eccles’ investment philosophy. After coming to America in 1863 aboard the ship Cynosure, David became one of the most successful entrepreneurs and investors in U.S. history over the next several decades.

Our History
An enduring philosophy of partnership.
David Eccles’ investment approach was to partner with founders and management-owners. His sons, George and Marriner, continued this philosophy resulting in some of the biggest landmark transactions of the era.
