Our founder's story

Our founder's story

"I used to be an asset manager dealing with stocks and mutual funds. Tech stocks were very popular, but in 2000 the stock market declined and portfolios were dropping between 30-55%. I was frustrated that even though according to the traditional asset management protocols I was doing everything right, many people were unable to maintain their standard of living.

After the dot com bubble burst, I stopped working with securities. There were other products that provided similar results, but with less risk. I learned there was a better approach.

Many financial services promote sexy solutions, but the ones that are more stable are often overlooked. Now I focus on education and bringing money to the table by stopping losses instead of engaging in potentially risky investments."
