Steven R. Selengut, MBA, RIA, has been in the financial services industry for more than 40 years. He started investing while employed in a life insurer’s pension investment department.
At 25, he gained responsibility for a modest trust portfolio and began his trading career using the working capital model he describes in this book. His 12-year adventure in financial services produced an appreciation for the Wall Street environment, which helped him fine tune his unique investment strategy.
The program’s success propelled him into early retirement at age 33 and a new career as a private investment portfolio manager. He has built a loyal following of dedicated clients, many of whom have been with him since the beginning.
