Longfellow Investment Management | LIM | Boston

We believe that our emphasis on hiring talented, collegial, and civic-minded individuals with unique, yet complementary, skillsets helps discourage groupthink biases and ensure our decisions consider a wide range of perspectives. In our view, this dynamic is inherent in more effective organizations.

One of LIM’s core values is teamwork, whereby we foster a collaborative environment that encourages professional and personal development among individuals with diverse backgrounds and talents.

In 2022, we formed an IDEA Working Group shaped by our values and work with team members from all areas of the firm representing different backgrounds and life experiences. The goal of this group is to develop a framework that seeks to:

Educate our employees on how to promote IDEA at LIM.
Advocate for diversity via our external networks, volunteering, and recruiting.
Collaborate with our employees to achieve high levels of engagement by understanding areas of strength and improvement.

Our core values

Integrity: We hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards.
Teamwork: We encourage, value, and expect collaboration. It is essential to our process.
Client centric: We focus on our clients’ best interests.

A legacy of charitable giving and volunteerism

Operating in an ethical manner. Hiring high-quality, civic-minded people. Maintaining an inclusive and equitable work environment. These are among the principles that have shaped the evolution of LIM. So has our dedication to our community.

We focus on supporting women, racial and ethnic minorities, and inner-city youth in the areas of education, equal opportunity, and health care through charitable giving and volunteering.

Charitable Giving

Each year, we ask employees to nominate nonprofit organizations whose missions align with our giving priorities. Our employees collectively select charities to receive donations from both employees and the firm as a whole.

Volunteering

An integral part of what makes LIM a good corporate citizen is our longstanding commitment to helping others in Greater Boston through volunteerism. Our employees leverage their leadership skills, experience, and values by volunteering their time and serving on committees and boards of local nonprofits, schools, and religious institutions.

According to the results of our Employee Volunteer Survey:*

83%
