Hi Reader,

Max, founder of Finimize, here. 

You already know about our smart, unbiased daily insights, but you might not know much about the team we put together to produce them.

They have over forty years of experience and three CFAs between them, so I asked them to introduce themselves properly, describe their personal investment styles, and let you in on what’s in their portfolios…
