Overall Perception of this Firm?

Firm has has a long history of performance and results. Veteran team who bring a tried and true process to achieving success.

Fund's greatest strengths and weaknesses?

I think Edison is viewed as a very competent firm. They are also viewed as a company who operates very autonomously and in some regards has a pointy elbow approach. That said, the firm as a whole knows how transform carbon into diamonds.
