The Elm Story

What happens when a former hedge fund manager sets out to find a sensible, cost-effective way to invest his family’s wealth?

“After more than 20 years in finance, you’d have thought that I’d figured out how to invest my family’s savings. Well, it was 2002, I just turned 40, and I hadn’t.”

Victor wasn’t satisfied with the options available, so he built his own.

The Market Gap

I built Elm because the options available for managing my family’s wealth weren’t meeting my standards or my needs.

I wanted something better than what was available.

I knew that passive investing could lower my costs, but also that it can be problematic in dynamic markets. On the other hand, alpha-seeking, black box strategies seemed too complicated, too costly, and not appropriate for the vast majority of my family’s wealth. Plus, the wealth advisors I spoke with simply didn’t have the experience or credibility I was looking for.

THAT’S WHERE ELM BEGAN.
