Through partnership with FLX, Third Avenue will benefit from an enhanced ability to communicate with clients and the broader investment community by leveraging FLX’s robust and growing network of members as well as its impressive technology platform. Third Avenue also views its partnership with FLX as very timely given a renewed interest in fundamental value investing strategies within the wealth management community and, in particular, interest in strategies such as Third Avenue’s Global Value, Small-Cap Value, Real Estate Value and International Real Estate, which each offer investors a time-tested, value-oriented, high-active share1 approach that is distinctive within the asset management marketplace.
