Jensen Investment Management was founded by Val Jensen in 1988. Val believed that an investment management firm focused on the client with a disciplined approach to investing would stand the test of time. The strength of JensenÕs investment philosophy is built on long-term perspective and a commitment to investing in quality businesses. We believe these quality companies possess sustainable competitive advantages, creating value as profitable businesses that can, over time, provide attractive returns with less risk than the overall market. For more than 25 years we have worked hard to win the trust and confidence of our clients. We have achieved this by building an independent firm that attracts and retains talented, committed professionals who are dedicated to providing clients with attractive returns and service of the highest integrity. Founded in 1988, Jensen Investment Management offers both a quality growth fund and quality value fund derived from a single investable universe of companies, The Jensen Quality Universe. The firm provides its products and services to institutions, advisors and individual investors.
