Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC began its operations in 1994 as an employee-owned, SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) registered investment adviser. The company managed $7.0 billion worth of assets through its management services, including $1.6 billion from Kinetics mutual funds as of March 31, 2024. The mutual funds employ a fundamental investment approach, which spans long periods because their research team conducts independent analysis instead of following market benchmarks.
