Tim Fortier

Tim Fortier, founder of PortfolioCafe (www.portfolio-cafe.com), is a 27 year veteran of the investment industry. Tim began his career with a Midwest regional NYSE member firm where he specialized in institutional fixed income strategies and systematic stock selection methodologies. He was among the early users of Internet based databases that allowed for security screening and technical analysis.

In the early 1990’s Tim started his own money management firm where he began to develop a “risk managed” approach to investing that focused on protecting capital during market declines. As the chief investment officer of a family office, this approach served him well during the volatile markets of 2001-2002.
