Sam Martin

Investment Group
Boston, MA
As a Managing Director in the Investment Group, Sam focuses on hedge fund manager research and selection as well as portfolio construction and trading. Sam helps oversee the full manager sourcing and due‑diligence process and contributes to firm‑wide investment governance and client communications.
I’m motivated by the challenge of delivering consistent, risk‑controlled outcomes for clients across market cycles. My work centers on identifying durable sources of alpha, constructing resilient portfolios, and managing downside risk while navigating complex and evolving markets. I enjoy the investigative nature of manager research and due diligence, as well as the responsibility of making thoughtful capital allocation decisions on behalf of families and institutions who rely on us as long‑term stewards of their capital.
