Overview

Towle & Co is a corporation registered with the SEC since 1981 that operates as a hedge-fund-style adviser and pooled-vehicle manager. The firm provides portfolio management across a range of client types, including individuals and families as well as institutional entities, and it runs pooled investment vehicles in addition to advising investment companies and businesses. Towle & Co performs commodity pool operator/commodity trading adviser (CPO/CTA) functions and also serves as sponsor or general partner on pooled vehicles it manages. Its economics are a mix of asset-based fees and performance-based compensation, reflecting a manager that runs active strategies and collects incentive fees on returns. The firm is not identified as an active ESG investor. Towle & Co uses third-party external alternative managers for some allocations but is not positioned primarily as a capital allocator.
