Individual Investor

Managed by a father and son team who are formally trained in finance, law, psychology and neuroscience. We have professional experience in the investment management industry and as entrepreneurs and have been managing money for family and friends for a number of years.

Christopher Olin - Completed Level III of CFA exam; MS, BS, and BA from Stanford University.

After performing experiments on brains for a number of years, Chris found his true calling in investment management, where the markets perform experiments for him in real-time. Chris brings a scientific and analytical approach to investing.

Milton Olin - JD from UCLA; BA from UCSB.

Milt began his career in law, quickly becoming a partner at a prestigious law firm in Los Angeles. He later left to work for a major recording company where he eventually was appointed head of global business and legal affairs. After a 16-year career there, he moved to the entrepreneurial world, managing and working with numerous technology-based startups. He currently is a founding partner in a boutique law firm. Milt’s lifetime of business and legal experience provides a valuable perspective on business evaluation and the financial markets.

Investment process

We are bottom-up, fundamental investors. We focus on businesses we understand and that are trading at prices that offer large margins of safety. This margin of safety protects us: heads, we win; tails, we don’t lose much. We identify promising investments by investigating companies that investors appear to have become overly excited or pessimistic about. If such a company falls within our circle of competence, we conduct extensive research so that we can attempt to predict the company’s future path with a high degree of certainty. If we can’t understand the business, we don’t invest.

Company background

Our company was founded by a father and son team in 2012 to allow others to participate in our investment results. Prior to the firm’s formal formation, we successfully used our process for years to manage our own funds and those of others.
