Mission & Values

Our History

Fairport Asset Management has been serving clients over 45 years going back to when our predecessor firm, Roulston and Company was founded in 1963 by Thomas H Roulston.

Fairport was formed in 2001 from the merger of Roulston & Co. and The Hickory Group, founded by our Chairman Paul Abbey in 1988.

Our Mission

This is our mission. It identifies who we are and who we seek as our clients. This statement reflects the depth of experience and breadth of skill sets available to each of our clients.

  • Our investment process is disciplined and based on investment fundamentals and managing risk.
  • Our advice is tailored to each client’s needs and objectives.
