Wasatch Advisors was founded in 1975 by Sam Stewart, PhD, then a University of Utah professor who challenged the prevailing academic belief in efficient markets. Situated far from Wall Street, the early team developed its own distinct investment philosophy and process. From the outset, independence has shaped Wasatch’s identity, while collaboration has defined its culture. As our approach to identifying quality growth companies proved successful in both U.S. and international markets, we gradually expanded our offerings.
Throughout five decades of investing, Wasatch has withstood market fluctuations and industry changes—growing organically and thoughtfully. Today, as we explore investment opportunities around the world that span market caps, we do so with the same spirit of intellectual curiosity and collaboration we’ve applied for decades. We know of no better way to deliver the best possible returns for our clients.
