Our History

A lane in a large redwood forest

Redwood was founded in 2004 with a mission to generate sustainable, long term excess returns for our clients through commitment to a singularly focused philosophy and process.

After a successful tenure managing growth equity teams at Putnam Investments and Neuberger Berman, Jennifer Silver joined forces with her former partner at Putnam, Mike Mufson, to establish Redwood Investments. They sought to create a firm where they could focus exclusively on their passion - investing with the clients' end goals at the core of all investment decisions. The firm's culture is rooted in collaboration, humility, alignment, and perpetual improvement.

In Her Own Words

Jennifer Silver on the genesis of Redwood

"We started Redwood to offer world class investment management services to our clients. To achieve that goal, we sought to build a culture that values and encourages diversity of thought, experience, and background while embracing one investment process. Our entrepreneurial spirit drives us to work hard for our clients and to challenge the status quo to keep improving."

Collaboration & Accountability

Our Team is built upon a foundation of collaboration and accountability. The investment strategies benefit from a variety of backgrounds and experiences across the firm.

At Redwood, we are one team embracing a singular philosophy and investment process across all strategies for the benefit of our clients.
