BOCA RATON, Fla., September 25, 2025 — Polen Capital, a global investment management firm specializing in growth equity and credit, announced the addition of a distinguished U.S. Small Company Growth investment team led by industry veteran Andrew (“Drew”) Cupps. The new team enhances Polen Capital’s small cap capabilities and reflects the firm’s commitment to delivering superior investment solutions.
“For 25 years, Drew and his team have delivered exceptional long-term results,” said Stan Moss, CEO of Polen Capital. “With Polen Capital’s global infrastructure and distribution platform, we are well positioned to serve investors seeking active small cap growth.”
Since inception, the team’s core strategies—including U.S. Small Cap Growth, U.S. SMID Cap Growth, and U.S. Microcap Growth—have delivered top-decile results1.
The team’s track record is powered by a proprietary investment process that blends fundamental, thematic, and technical disciplines. The process focuses on identifying inflection points across emerging trends, industry shifts, innovation cycles, and strategic pivots that can fuel sustainable earnings growth over the long term.
“Our screening process recognizes that no company is perfect and that strong performance can emerge from anywhere. By favoring data over dogma and maintaining a pragmatic approach, we have generated consistent value for our clients,” said Cupps.
Cupps is joined by long-standing analysts Kevin Leitner and Chris Bush. Both have worked alongside him for 18 years, collaborating on research, portfolio construction, and idea generation.
