About Me

Drawing upon my 17 years of experience across the financial sector in investment banking, business strategy and real estate investments, I help clients grow and preserve their assets. Most of my clients benefit from one or more of my service offerings:

Portfolio Management

I interpret the markets to find advantageous asset classes, sectors and regions for my clients to invest in. My investment philosophy aims to enhance returns when the stock market is strong, and to provide some downside protection when the stock market is weak. This entails the following fundamental and technical aspects:

• Market Interpretation – I interpret the economic themes driving the market, where the market has an appetite and the investment styles that are being favored. I look for investments that have relative strength & outperformance compared to the broader market (measured by the S&P 500). I also determine if the market favors stock-picking or broad-based funds.

• Technical Analysis – I use technical analysis to determine if an investment is in an uptrend, downtrend or sideways trend. I always try to keep clients invested in investments in an uptrend.

• Seasonal/Cycle Factors – I use seasonal and cyclical factors to be mindful of times to help manage risk and times to add risk.

• Warning Signs – I use a number of indicators to monitor systematic risk, which alerts me if a market correction or bear market may occur.

• Downside Protection – When there is significant risk of a market correction or bear market, I seek to provide some downside protection for clients by re-allocating funds to lower risk assets or by hedging portfolios using options.

Investment Selection

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Downside Protection
