"Teton Advisors manages $1.3 billion in small and mid-cap focused mutual funds through TETON Westwood and KEELEY brands. Revenue declined 12.6% to $12.0 million in 2023 due to lower AUM from net outflows, though market appreciation provided some offset."
Teton Advisors is an investment management company operating through two primary subsidiaries: Teton LLC and Keeley-Teton Advisors. The firm manages $1.3 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2023, down 10.1% from the prior year due to net outflows of $305 million partially offset by market appreciation of $153 million. The company operates eight mutual funds under the TETON Westwood and KEELEY brands, focusing primarily on small and mid-cap equity strategies.
