Cameron Hight, CFA, is President and Founder of Alpha Theory, a risk-adjusted return based Portfolio Management Platform provider. Cameron developed and refined the Alpha Theory discipline over the course of his investment management career, but the quantum leap occurred in 2005. Inspired by his reading and writing on Poker Theory and Game Theory, Cameron found that most critical decision makers (physicists, actuaries, odds makers, poker players, etc.) employ a strict, non-emotional, repeatable process fueled by the best information available at the moment. Cameron observed, however, that a disciplined decision process was the exception more than the rule in the investment management industry. From this quantum leap, Alpha Theory's Fundamental Portfolio Optimization tool was born.
Cameron has spoken at conferences and seminars and has also been interviewed on TV and Radio regarding using risk-adjusted return for effective portfolio management.
Previously, Cameron worked in the investment industry for 10 years covering primarily technology companies where he supported over $20B in transactions. Cameron worked in New York as an equity research analyst for firms such as Credit Suisse First Boston and Lehman Brothers. In 2002, Cameron joined Afton Capital Management, a $200M long-short equity hedge fund. Cameron earned his Business degree from UNC-Chapel Hill and became one of the youngest ever to receive the CFA designation.
