PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Samara Capital launched today on the tru Independence platform. The Portland-based team manages approximately $480 million in assets under the leadership of Managing Director Tasha Winkler and Senior Portfolio Manager Mike Kaiser, CFA, formerly of Union Bank.
"We established Samara Capital as an independent business so that we would have the freedom to make investment recommendations and decisions for the sole benefit of our clients," said Winkler. "Our partnership with tru Independence enables us to focus our full attention and energy on serving our clients' needs."
Winkler has nearly a decade of financial advisory experience and holds a MBA in finance from the University of Portland's Pamplin School of Business. Kaiser has 30 years of investment management and portfolio construction experience.
"At Samara Capital, we work with clients to develop investment strategies and construct portfolios that reflect their long-term goals," said Kaiser.

tru Independence partners with financial advisory practices to provide them with the platform and resources needed to establish and operate their own independent firms.
"The tru Independence platform is designed to support advisors like the Samara Capital team as they make the shift to an independent business model," said Doug Nichols, Managing Director, tru Independence.
