Our Investment Advisor
National City Investment Management Company
Our investment advisor, National City Investment
Management Company (IMC), relies on its portfolio
management teams and rigorous, structured
management processes to remain true to their
investment objectives. IMC’s 45 investment professionals,
with an average of 17 years of experience, are organized
into highly focused portfolio management teams. Each team
operates independently, but leverages the collective experience
of the entire group and the resources of the firm. This is a team
process that seeks the best ideas and best results. IMC’s teams communicate, collaborate and cooperate as they seek to provide Armada Funds’ shareholders with returns that are higher, more consistent, and less volatile than those of their benchmark indices or peers.
“You’re not hiring a portfolio manager; you’re hiring a team of managers,” says Andrew Harding, Senior Manager for the Taxable Fixed Income team.
