LEARN MORE ABOUT WORKING AT PALISADEOur History
Palisade Capital Management was founded in 1995 by brothers Martin L. Berman and Steven E. Berman, together with their long-time colleague, Jack Feiler. With substantial experience in senior leadership positions at major financial services institutions prior to founding Palisade, our three founders knew there was a better way to help institutions and wealthy families achieve their investment goals and bring strategy, structure, and organization to their financial objectives. Senior Partner and Chief Investment Officer Dennison “Dan” T. Veru worked with Palisade's founders from 1986 to 1992 and joined Palisade in 2000. Alison A. Berman joined Palisade in 2011, holding various positions until her promotion to President and Chief Executive Officer upon Martin Berman's passing in 2018.
In 2023, as part our strategic plan for growth and evolution, Palisade added nine new equity partners and became a WBENC-Certified Women's Business Enterprise, representing the firm's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
As a fiduciary, Palisade's approach to wealth and investment management has remained constant for over 25 years. We strive to put clients' interests first, deliver solutions customized to clients' unique goals and circumstances, and aim to provide an unparalleled level of service from a dedicated team of experienced professionals. Today, Palisade's Operating Committee and senior management team continue to emphasize our core investment approach as we strive to think, invest, and treat our clients in a manner that is fundamentally different from other asset managers.
About Our Founder
Martin L. Berman was the driving force behind Palisade and started the firm in 1995 with the vision of serving institutional and individual clients with a disciplined investment management approach combined with personalized, high-touch service.
With Marty's passing in 2018, Palisade lost an inspired leader and a great friend. Marty cultivated a collegial environment where both clients and employees are part of the Palisade family, and he worked tirelessly to provide firm clients with unparalleled service. Marty was also dedicated to ensuring Palisade would sustain and prosper in the future, and his legacy continues today under the leadership of Palisade's Managing Partner, President and Chief Executive Officer Alison Berman.
