About Diffractive Managers Group
Diffractive Managers Group is a multi-affiliate private asset-holding management company located in Boston. The company is a distribution partner that connects asset allocators with different asset managers. Formerly known as 1251 Asset Management, Diffractive Managers Group was initially created to provide a platform for asset management for the 1251 Capital Group.
1251 Capital Group began as a young company led by seasoned leaders that embraced the vision to build a multi-affiliate company that provides unique and forward-thinking solutions in asset management. Years later, the business leaders formed Diffractive Managers Group to continue the company vision.
As a new entity, Diffractive Managers Group had to redefine itself. Moreover, the firm had to operate differently in the asset management sector in order to stand out and make its mark as a global leader. The company developed a strategy to help clients find and fund solutions instead of just offering them ineffective strategies. Diffractive Managers Group acquires ownership stakes from various asset managers and combines the stakes with the company’s proprietary sales to offer clients effective affiliate solutions.
The organization intends to continue providing its clients with innovative solutions to problems related to asset management. To do this, the firm has been at the forefront of helping clients get their illiquidity premium, offsetting volatility in equity, and providing sustainability alpha.
As the new chairman, John Hailer is definitely best suited and experienced to enable Diffractive Managers Group to achieve its mission to connect global investors with solutions that are both impactful and creative.
