Thomas R. Bogan, CFA  Managing Member

Tom is a Founder and Managing Member of Bogan Associates LLC.  Tom's extensive investment experience covers more than five decades of investing in a wide range of technology and engineering industries, including semiconductors, electronics, aerospace, machinery, shipbuilding, and infrastructure.

Before starting Bogan Associates, Tom served as interim Director of Research for State Street Research in Boston, Massachusetts in 2003 where he reorganized equity research in preparation for its merger with BlackRock.  Tom was previously Managing Director and Associate Director of Research at Putnam Investments from 1994 to 1999.  At Putnam, Tom pioneered an entirely new approach to mutual fund management as the creator and Portfolio Manager of the Putnam Research Fund.  It was the first mutual fund to empower research analysts to make investment decisions directly while using quantitative techniques to balance the overall portfolio, thus circumventing the traditional role of a portfolio manager altogether.  Under his leadership, the Research Fund grew to $600 million in assets and was among Putnam's best performing and fastest growing funds.  In 1999, Tom placed 33rd in Barron’s Top 100 Fund Managers ranking and the Research Fund subsequently received a 5-star rating from Morningstar. 

Tom left Putnam in 1999 to pursue his vision of creating a fund to invest based directly on fundamental analysis of science and technology companies without the limitations of indexing or the traditional portfolio management process.  That vision was realized in 2004 with the start of the Bogan Science Fund. 

Before moving to Boston in 1994, Tom was Senior Analyst and Co-manager of the Research Fund at Lord Abbett & Co. in New York, which was the firm's best performing fund during his tenure.  From 1973 to 1988, Tom was with Alliance Capital Management (now AllianceBernstein) in New York, where he was a semiconductor analyst, Senior Vice President, and Co-manager of the Analysts’ Portfolio Fund.  Tom's career began as an officer in the United States Navy, where he supervised a team of 80 people building nuclear submarines as Production Engineering Superintendent of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. 

Tom holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an M.B.A. from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.  He is also a Chartered Financial Analyst.
