Michael Arold Profile Picture

Michael Arold

Individual Investor

I am a technical trader and an aerospace engineer with more than 15 years of investing and trading experience. My engineering background enables me to apply systematic, rules-based techniques to my decision-making. I’ve been on the Covestor platform as a manager since 2007 and have outperformed the S&P 500 by more than 90% (net of fees) between inception and the first quarter of 2013. My approach is disciplined and unemotional. It uses a top-down research process and a rules-based strategy. I seek to beat the S&P 500 in both up and down markets while generating less volatility.
