Northwest Funds
Aiming for Better Returns with Less Risk

To understand how Northwest Funds are managed, you don’t have to look
any further than the name. ‘Northwest’ refers to the northwest quadrant
of the chart that plots risk versus return – the domain of better returns with
less risk.
An investment in Northwest Funds earns you our commitment to strive for
the best risk managed returns possible. Our belief is that while the markets
seem increasingly prone to volatile up and down swings, you and your money
shouldn’t have to endure that same level of stress.
That’s why Northwest Funds employ some of the best forward-looking value
managers in the industry – managers with a history of creating exceptional
performance in good markets and preserving capital when markets are down.
This more consistent approach is designed to create superior performance
over the long term, something Northwest Funds have been doing since 1997.
