Our Investors - Melissinos Trading

A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER

I started this firm because of what I lived through at Bear Stearns in 2008. I watched what happens when an approach depends too heavily on one thing going right, namely on stocks rising. When that trend broke, portfolios broke catastrophically.

I didn’t want to build something like that. I wanted to build something more pliable.

Our approach, trend-following, doesn’t depend on stocks going up. Not on rates being low or high, or valuations being reasonable, or inflation behaving itself. It navigates across environments that give conventional portfolios trouble. Resilience is the point.

I view every investor as a long-term partner. A real person with real goals and real stakes. I know your name. I know why you’re here. I don’t have a team of people managing your relationship. When you invest, you deal directly with me for as long as you’re a partner here.

Another thing…I invest right alongside you. Always have. It’s the clearest way I know to show you that I believe in what we do here. When the strategy struggles, I feel it too. When it performs, we win together.

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 the way it was designed to be executed. Patiently. Without panic.

If you value plain speaking, transparency and a manager who treats you like an adult I think you’ll be comfortable here.

“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.”
