Overview TekWissen is a global workforce management provider headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan that offers strategic talent solutions to our clients world-wide. We are a community of 50 million who think-and feel-differently about investing. Together, we're changing the way the world invests. Since our founding in 1975, helping investors achieve their goals has been our main reason for existence. At Client, we're built differently. Our client is investor-owned, meaning that we're owned by our funds, which are owned by our fund shareholder clients. Therefore, your success adds to ours, so you're surrounded by people who care about the same things. With no other parties to answer to, we make decisions-including keeping investing costs as low as possible-with your needs in mind. Because of our unique structure, your goals align with our goals.
