We see our investors as people, not clients or capital but people with real names and families.
Our investors are the lifeblood of our business. We’re here to serve them. We’re here to protect and grow their money, so they can sleep better at night. So they can send their kids to better schools or complete that home renovation. So they can maintain their standard of living despite ever-relentless rising inflation and taxes.
Most of our investors have been with us since the beginning. They don’t come and go with the fluctuations of short-term performance. They understand that building wealth requires buying into our unique investing approach and sticking with it through the ups and downs. To achieve long-term investing success, we hold each other accountable to maintain our discipline despite sometimes painful near-term volatility.
Our goal is to work intimately with people who share a similar investing philosophy and overall values. Our investors care about working with someone who will look them in the eye and shoot them straight. Someone who eats their own cooking. That’s us. They value knowing the person actually managing their money and that they’re caring for it as if it was his/her own.

“My wife and I 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. He also communicates in a way that is direct, honest. His response times are usually within hours, not days or weeks like other firms. That’s refreshing.” — Chad K.
“I sleep well at night knowing Mike is managing my money. I don’t have the discipline he does.” — Derek N.
“Mike puts his money where his mouth is. He doesn’t tell his clients what to do, but invests right along side all of us. I like that. He lives and breathes his philosophy. It’s not just a job to him.” — Anthony S.
“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.” — Jerry S.
“I’m an investor that likes data and research. I have been keeping a spread sheet on trend following traders for a few years trying to decide which one to invest with. My research had brought my list down to about 10 traders that I would like to invest in. At first Mike wasn’t on my radar. Until a little post on LinkedIn that was liked by one of the traders on my list. So, I started digging into his fund. Soon Mike himself called me and 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. This led to a few email exchanges where he explained more of his process to me. I feel comfortable in saying that Mike’s knowledge of the markets is superior. But that isn’t what makes him a good trader, 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. I have added money into my account and will plan too again and again. He has an investor for life.” — Chris C.
