Your Team of Investment Professionals

If you’re a client of McLean Budden, you have one.

McLean Budden manages each asset class using a team structure. With this structure the loss of any individual team member will not affect the management and servicing of client portfolios.

Our policy of widely distributing equity ownership, combined with the team based approach to both research and decision-making, addresses the issue of succession planning and decreases dependency on any one individual. Historically, in the event of retirement, a new professional has been hired approximately three years prior to the retirement date.
