| Mr. Bill Priebe visited Marquette's AIM program |
This week the AIM students at Marquette University were privileged
to host veteran money manager, Bill Priebe, the founder of Geneva Capital Management.
In October 2014, Henderson Global, a London-based asset manager, acquired Geneva Capital Management, a US
growth equity manager founded in 1987. Geneva is known for specializing in high quality growth equity strategies. The acquisition was an important strategic milestone in the
development of Henderson’s North American business as it added a seasoned US
equity team with a strong, proven track record of small- and mid-cap equity
investing.
Henderson through the acquisition expanded its capabilities and
extended its US institutional client base. Mr. Priebe, CFA, co-founded
Geneva Capital Management in 1987 with Amy Croen – and he continues to serve
an important role along with the other portfolio managers at Henderson Geneva
Capital Management.
Mr. Priebe is a member of the funds' Investment Strategy Group that conducts high
quality fundamental research and is responsible for the management and oversight
of the Henderson Geneva growth equity portfolios. Before founding Geneva, Mr.
Priebe worked for First Wisconsin Trust Company. He graduated from
Northern Illinois University where he also earned his Master’s in Finance - he later earned an MBA from the University of Chicago.

Mr.
Priebe briefly discussed the philosophy, strategy, and process behind the
Henderson Geneva US Mid Cap Growth Fund and gave examples of stocks that met
their investment criteria. Dr. David Krause, AIM program director said, “It was
marvelous to have Mr. Priebe join us again. You can tell that he is a former
educator as his class material is well organized and he was able to connect with the
students through his presentation and real world examples. He provided valuable micro
and macro-economic insights – and engaged the AIM students in
investment-related discussions during and after class.”
