The Turner Funds of Berwyn has named Stephen J. Negrotti, president and chief executive officer of Turner Investments, L.P., the fund’s investment manager.

Negrotti, also elected to the board of trustees, will work closely with independent trustees Alfred Salvato, Janet Sansone and John Wholihan, in setting and managing the overall direction of the Turner Funds and protecting shareholder interests.

“With decades of investment management industry experience and in-depth understanding of Turner Investments’ culture, Steve will provide steady and strong leadership for Turner Funds going forward,” said Robert E. Turner, co-founder, chairman and chief investment officer of Turner Investments.

“Our investment team is committed to outstanding performance and the rigorous investment process we’ve honed since our inception. Right now, we’re excited about the extraordinary level of innovation we see across all industries and the number of growth investment opportunities available. I believe the pendulum is swinging back in favor of growth investing.”

Negrotti has 40 years of finance and administration experience. He joined Turner in April 2014. Previously, he was a partner at Ernst & Young LLP, and most recently was an advisor in their Global Private Equity practice in New York.
