Alger Switches its Branding Tactics


Fred Alger revealed a new brand identity, logo and slogan on Monday. The New York-based fund firm's new branding initiative will seek to reflect the company’s growth-oriented culture while revitalizing the company’s website and image. The change is accompanied by a new theme for Alger -- "Inspired by Change, Driven by Growth." Alger's print, web and media platforms will all undergo a facelift.

"Our new brand identity will enable Alger to be more consistently recognized within our most important markets," said CEO Dan Chung. "Alger was one of the founders of what is now known as ‘growth’ investing, and we think this new identity continues to illustrate that leadership."
