Van Davis

I had the opportunity to work with Dave when he was a senior equity analyst covering several industries (Industrials, Telecom, Aerospace & Defense, and Transportation) at Mercantile. He also managed the firm’s REIT Fund with much success. Before joining Mercantile, Dave came from a pure analytical background in reviewing and interpreting macro and micro trends in Real Estate. This gave Him a remarkable and unique blend of objective analysis and seasoned professional experience that served him well as an equity analyst and portfolio manager. A pleasure to work with, Dave always displayed a willingness to go beyond his job duties in order to contribute to the greater good.
