Tim Fortier, founder of PortfolioCafe, is a 26-year veteran of the investment industry. Tim began his career with a Midwest regional NYSE member firm where he specialized in institutional fixed income strategies and systematic stock selection methodologies. He was among the early users of Internet based databases that allowed for security screening and technical analysis.
In the early 1990’s Tim started his own money management firm where he began to develop a “risk managed” approach to investing that focused on protecting capital during market declines. As the chief investment officer of a family office, this approach served him well during the volatile markets of 2001-2002.
Tim has been a regular guest on Bloomberg Radio and was the recipient of the Structured Products Association’s Leading Edge Advisor award in 2009. He has held FINRA series 3,6,7,24, and 63 licenses. Tim is a graduate of both the Dorsey Wright Broker's Institute and the Advanced Institute and is proficient in a variety of technical analysis approaches.
When Tim is not studying and writing about investing he enjoys spending time outdoors and is an avid fly fisherman and snowboarder.
