We have been partnering with Fenimore Asset Management since March 2020. Having a partner who truly listens to our concerns and needs and appreciates the work we do, was very important to us. They don’t just give advice; they roll up their sleeves and work alongside us. In addition, Fenimore is very thorough with market research and communicates with us when there are market changes that could potentially impact our portfolio. As a nonprofit, it is critical to our long-term solvency and success to have a trusted investment partner.
