Our Firm

A History of Collaborative Success

From our beginnings as an investment research boutique, to the global investment management firm we have become today, Rochdale has remained focused on providing private clients with investment management based on integrity, innovation, and intelligent personalization in partnership with their trusted advisors.

Rochdale Chairman and Founder Carl Acebes sought a name for his investment boutique that would represent people working collectively toward a common goal.  The Rochdale Principles – the operating doctrine of the Cooperative Movement – authored in the township of Rochdale, England in 1844 was Mr. Acebes’s inspiration.

Since its founding, the boutique approach of Rochdale has exemplified these cooperative principles. Our firm's structure and environment gives our senior investment consultants and portfolio managers the authority and flexibility to be responsive to each private client’s individual needs in designing their portfolio.
