Understand market structure

Our approach primarily focuses on an agnostic, price-driven framework to construct a ‘roadmap’ for markets. Our research is designed to give clients an actionable price outlook that can be assimilated into their trading strategies. This enables our clients to stay on track within bigger picture trends, focus on major turning point opportunities, and manage risk.

Principal – Dario Mofardin

Dario has worked in the financial markets since the early 1990’s. He has always been interested in understanding the ever-changing financial, economic, social, and political landscape and what it means for markets. Dario has been writing the Market Update for over ten years and it remains a critical part of his methodology to stay oriented within trends, understand changes in market relationships, and establish the parameters for trade opportunities.

Dario began his trading career while working for the Hains family office, Portland House Corporation, in Melbourne, Australia in the early 1990’s. This experience introduced him to trading within a broad macro context.

After receiving his MBA from the Melbourne Business School, Dario moved into investment banking. He gained global business and finance experience working as a senior mergers and acquisitions banker for pre-eminent investment banks including Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and Lehman Brothers in Melbourne, Sydney, Singapore, and New York.

With strong commercial acumen and global perspectives, Dario quickly became a trusted adviser to some of the most astute global clients such as Gillette, Schlumberger and KKR. He developed an outstanding track record of success in identifying and creating real business value for his clients.

With over 15 years of global investment banking experience and leveraging his knowledge of financial markets, Dario turned his attention back to investing and trading. He brings a real edge to his investment approach: –

I have traded for nearly 30 years as both a proprietary trader for global money centre banks and more recently as a hedge fund manager specializing in quantitative investing. To me, having a solid understanding of the big picture market context as it pertains to flow of funds and the global macro-economic environment is critical to success. I find Dario’s work to be invaluable to me as a way to focus my thinking and synthesize global macro themes. His ability to pick major market turning points has been priceless to my trading. Dario’s market analysis is a fundamental part of my trading process and I unequivocally recommend it.
