ASPEN, CO--(Marketwire - August 27, 2009) - Obermeyer Asset Management Company (Obermeyer),
one of Colorado's premier discretionary asset management firms, has
announced the relocation of its head of investment research to Denver. John
Goltermann, CFA, CPA, Obermeyer's Senior Vice President for Portfolio
Management, will make his primary office in the firm's recently opened
office in the Cherry Creek business district.
Mr. Goltermann's presence in Denver, one of the West's most important
financial centers, further extends Aspen-based Obermeyer's reach toward
Colorado's affluent investors.
"This move is a positive development for our firm and for our clients,"
said company president Wally Obermeyer. "John will be well-positioned to
monitor industry trends, economic developments, and investment
opportunities as he expands his network of business and investment
professionals in Denver."
Functionally, Mr. Goltermann's role at Obermeyer will remain unchanged. As
the primary architect of the firm's global equity strategy, he will
continue to serve on the Obermeyer Investment Committee and articulate the
company's market perspective.
"Obermeyer Asset Management has made significant investment in the
necessary resources to improve inter-office connectivity, so our team can
interact as though it's in one office," says Goltermann. "Actually being in
Denver, which allows me greater opportunity for one-on-one investment
conversation with key people, will quickly benefit us all."
Mr. Goltermann has longstanding ties to the Denver investment community.
Before joining Obermeyer, he performed due diligence and valuation work as
a senior associate with an Arizona-based private equity firm, and worked in
institutional cash management and accounting with Janus Capital for several
years. Mr. Goltermann earned a BS degree in accounting from Metropolitan
State College of Denver, graduating summa cum laude, before receiving his
MBA in finance from Arizona State University. In 2000, he received the Jack
Furst Fellowship from Hicks Muse, a leading private equity firm.
The Obermeyer investment team builds and manages marketable securities
portfolios for about 250 families representing over $600 million in assets.
Wally Obermeyer was recently named one of Worth magazine's 'Top 250 Wealth
Advisors,' and has been included in Barron's magazine's 'Top 100
Independent Advisors' for the last two years.
