Our History: Celebrating 40 Years of Partnership

On June 9th, 2023, Hudson Edge proudly celebrated its 40th anniversary. We reflect on four decades of success and express our gratitude to everyone who has been part of our journey, including our founding members: Michael Pendergast, Jeffrey Harris, Warren Greenhouse, Joseph Kutzel, and Carol Bandille.

As we look forward, we aim to build on the foundations that have driven our clients’ successes, continuing our mission to be a reliable partner in meeting their long-term investment goals. Our unwavering dedication to excellence and client service remains at the core of everything we do.

Our New Name: Hudson Edge Investment Partners

In our 40th anniversary year, we transitioned from HGK Asset Management to Hudson Edge Investment Partners. This change reflects our current identity and the competitive edge we offer as an institutional asset manager. The renaming process was inclusive and meaningful, involving every team member. Our new name honors our heritage, as our original office was in lower Manha7an, near the Hudson River. Today, we remain along the Hudson’s edge, now located in Jersey City and Hudson County. This strategic rebranding signifies our commitment to evolving while staying true to our roots.

Great Waters in Constant Motion

The Hudson River, originally called ‘Mahicanni7uk’ by the Mahican people, means “great waters in constant motion” or “river that flows two ways.” This tidal estuary ebbs and flows, reversing course with the tides while draining 20,000 cubic feet of water every second from the Catskill and Adirondack Mountains.

Financial markets, like the Hudson River, move in complex pa7erns—up and down, yet always forward. The river serves as a powerful metaphor and daily reminder of the opportunities and challenges we face in our commitment to serving clients. This symbolism underscores our dedication to navigating the complexities of the market, ensuring that our clients achieve their investment goals.

As we celebrate our past and look to the future, we remain dedicated to our clients and our mission, driven by the principles that have guided us for 40 years. Here’s to the next chapter of growth and success with Hudson Edge Investment Partners, where we continue to uphold our legacy of trust, integrity, and innovation.
