A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER

If you’ve already taken a look around the site, you’ve probably gotten the gist of what we do here. But equally important as our investment philosophy and approach, is sticking with it through the inevitable ups and downs.

I do my very best to teach investors our trading methodology and what to expect of an investment with us — the performance profile, the risks, volatility, etc. This is where I put my energy.

When we are both in alignment on philosophy, risk and performance expectations then we can have a very successful long-term relationship. This work naturally attracts fully committed investors to us and repels those who are not a good fit. Together, we embrace long-term discipline over short-term results.

Another thing…I invest right alongside all of my investors. When you lose, I lose. When we win, we make money together. I am not a rah-rah guy. I like to lead with my actions and I know of no better act than to invest heavily in my own strategy.

Many of our investors have been with us for over ten years. That kind of commitment — staying through the difficult stretches, trusting the process when it’s hard — is what allows us to execute our approach patiently and consistently.

Thank you.

WHAT OUR INVESTORS SAY

In their own words…

“We have been investors for several years and have been extremely happy with the performance, transparency and commitment to the process. When you work with Mike, everything is completely transparent and broken down into simple terms.”

CHAD K.

“Mike puts his money where his mouth is. He invests right along side all of us. He lives and breathes his philosophy. It’s not just a job to him.”

ANTHONY S.

“I sleep well at night knowing Mike is managing my money; I don’t have the discipline he does. He communicates in a way that is direct, honest. That’s refreshing.”

DEREK N.

“During the first conversation, I felt like I was the one being interviewed. He wanted to know more about me, which made me feel kind of special. I feel comfortable saying that Mike’s knowledge of the markets is superior. But that isn’t what makes him a good manager — it’s his honesty. He isn’t afraid to tell you how things are. I have been with Mike for over a year now and am never looking back. He has an investor for life.”

CHRIS C.

“Michael is an excellent money manager. His systematic, trend following approach will protect and grow your capital without having to be totally dependent on the equity markets. He provides concise monthly reports, is readily available to answer any questions or concerns, and is fully committed to his long term, fully diversified method of investing. His emphasis on risk management will give you peace of mind during all market regimes. And, most important, he is person of great integrity who is trustworthy and who wants to do what is right and best for his investors.”
