  1. Eventide’s Business Continuity Plan

    Leave a Comment

    You are seeing this message as part of a regularly scheduled test.

    Eventide Asset Management, LLC has developed a business continuity plan addressing how we will respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. In short, our business continuity plan is designed to permit our firm to resume operations as quickly as possible, given the scope and severity of the significant business disruption. Significant business disruptions can vary in their scope, from impacting one of our locations to having an impact on multiple locations. Within each of these locations, the severity of the disruption can also vary from minimal to severe. In a disruption to only one location, we plan to transfer our operations to a different location when needed and expect to recover and resume business within a few hours. In a disruption affecting a specific region, we plan to transfer our operations to a site outside of the affected area, and recover and resume business within a couple of hours. In either situation, we plan to continue business operations and provide necessary updates through this website.

    If you have questions about our business continuity planning, you can contact us at info@eventidefunds.com

    BOSTON, March 10, 2022 — Eventide is pleased to announce that it is being honored with a 2022 Refinitiv Lipper Fund Award in the United States.

    The following Eventide Fund is being recognized for its consistently strong, risk-adjusted performance relative to its peers over the given time frame:

    • Eventide Dividend Opportunities Fund (NASDAQ: ETIDX), Best Equity Income Fund Over 3 Years.

    For more than 30 years, Refinitiv Lipper Fund Awards have sought to reflect a truly independent and uncompromised assessment of performance. Lipper uses independent fund data and a proprietary methodology that balances consistency and flexibility to adapt to an ever-changing universe of funds. Receiving a Refinitiv Lipper Fund Award is indeed an honor for an investment firm.

    “At Eventide, we have an organizational mission to develop quality investment products that serve the common good,” said Robin John, CEO of Eventide. “We feel humbled and honored to receive this award from Lipper for the three-year performance of the Eventide Dividend Opportunities Fund.”

    Eventide manages seven funds across different asset classes with varying risk and return profiles. They use an approach that seeks to invest in companies that they believe will be successful because they are adding value to society—an approach they refer to as Investing that makes the world rejoice®.

    Dolores Bamford, CFA, the Fund’s Senior Portfolio Manager, said this in regard to the award: “Recognition from an industry organization like Lipper reinforces our investment thesis, which posits that investing with the conscious intention of creating value for society is a well-founded approach that can create long-term value for our shareholders too.”

    Eventide Funds are managed by Eventide Asset Management, LLC, a Boston-based investment adviser that seeks to provide high performance by investing in companies that create compelling value for their customers, employees, supply chain, host communities, the environment, and society broadly.

    Leave a Comment

    NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2021 — Eventide Asset Management, LLC, awarded Best Places to Work in the 50-99 employees category in the 2021 Best Places to Work in Money Management awards announced by Pensions & Investments today.

    Presented by Pensions & Investments, the global news source of money management, the 10th-annual survey and recognition program is dedicated to identifying and recognizing the best employers in the money management industry.

    Eventide’s culture is animated by its core values of family spirit—feeling secure and valued and excellence—aspiring to pursue meaningful goals and integrity—applying the same values in every aspect of the company’s mission and operations.

    “Now in its 10th year, P&I‘s Best Places to Work in Money Management spotlights the unique ways that employers build healthy and thriving work cultures,” said Executive Editor Julie Tatge. “This year was no different. The 100 firms profiled in our Dec. 13 issue grappled with myriad challenges posed by the pandemic and met them, helping ensure that their employees felt supported and able to do their best work.”

    “The well-being of our employees is what keeps me up at night,” said Robin John, CEO of Eventide. “We have been very intentional about creating a culture that emulates our values. A big part of our hiring process is hiring people that believe in our mission because we understand how a common mission creates a strong internal bond, making it natural to care for and encourage each other.”

    Pensions & Investments partnered with Best Companies Group, a research firm specializing in identifying great places to work, to conduct a two-part survey process of employers and their employees.

    The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies.
