What’s in our Name?

Appomattox’s name is derived from the town and river in Virginia named after the Appamattuck Native American tribe and known in U.S history for the Civil War battle resulting in the surrender of Robert E. Lee to Ulysses S. Grant in 1865. This historic milestone exemplifies the resilience that enabled such an achievement and continued post-Civil War.

‘Resilience’ represents an important pillar of our firm as we focus on building actively managed global resilient portfolios. Furthermore, as a majority women-owned business, we take special note of the Appamattuck tribe’s leadership by the woman chief Opossunoquonuske during the seventeenth century (Source: Virginia Women In History).
