Get to Know Jensen

Who is Jensen Investment Management?

In 1988, Val Jensen founded Jensen Investment Management as a better way to serve his clients. Weary from turbulent, short-sighted equities markets, the 66-year-old career broker found refuge in quality investing.

More than three decades later, our clients continue to benefit from our unwavering commitment to managing high-conviction, quality portfolios. Through concentrated ownership in high-quality businesses, Jensen’s Growth and Value Strategies have outperformed over various full market cycles while typically experiencing less than average volatility.1

How We Invest

An Unwavering Commitment to Quality

High-quality businesses possess durable competitive advantages. Among other things, competitive advantages often allow companies more latitude in pricing their goods and services. The ability to raise prices is critical in an inflationary environment, and we are beginning to see evidence of this trend manifest itself in the comments and actions from companies held in the Jensen Quality Strategies.

This independence allows us to take a long-term approach to investing alongside our clients.  We have been blessed with clients who share our long-term investment approach and have an experienced team serving them, with an average tenure of over 10 years.
