Founder, CEO, Portfolio Manager
“My father is a former Roman Catholic priest and social worker turned financial advisor. He started an RIA in the 1970’s in Pittsburgh that has achieved wild success by always doing right by clients. When it comes to thinking differently about life and investing, I have one of the world’s best mentors. His influence was behind my decision to leave the East Coast to start my career at Thornburg in Santa Fe.”

Chris Ryon, CFA
Founder, Portfolio Manager
“I joined this little firm called Vanguard as a muni healthcare/high yield analyst. Wanting to prove my investment talent, I killed myself trying to uncover hidden opportunities. I was fortunate to work for investment leaders at Vanguard and Thornburg who listened to my ideas and encouraged me to pursue them. Listening—to anyone I can learn from—makes me a better portfolio manager. Former colleagues have cringed hearing me encourage clients to call me. But I don’t just manage client money. I manage their trust.”

Sweta Singh
Founder, Portfolio Manager
“My desire to constantly learn and adapt is my greatest gift. After immigrating to the U.S. and earning two degrees, I was awarded a fellowship in New York State’s Debt Division. I learned every aspect of debt issuance, and leveraged the experience to become a bond analyst, and later on a portfolio manager. I’ve always embraced the advantages that technology has brought to our industry, and utilize data science and machine learning technology to bring competitive advantages to investing. I believe that investing is dynamic, and its future entails the best of human and machine.”
