Disrupting Investment Management with Varium Investment Partners' Christian Hyldahl

TAMPA BAY, Fla., Feb. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The traditional investment model focuses on gathering assets, developing relationships, handing over those assets to a mutual fund company, and leaving those parties to do their part and charge for their services—the advising. These advisors may be genuinely interested in helping people but have been getting the short end of the stick—not being properly compensated for their services, partly because they have a reputation for not doing a great job. Simultaneously, the market has been slowly growing for the past 12 years with little disruption, and massive complacency has set in among these asset advisors. They may periodically rebalance their asset allocation models, or not at all, and generally have their clients do what they tell them. However, the market is likely to enter a very rough period for the next three to five years, and clients are going to start calling their advisors to the task—having them justify their investments versus performance. However, most advisors feel that because things are working well for the moment, they don't want to start making changes because it's time-consuming and costly.

But enter disruptor Christian Hyldahl, President and Founder of Varium Investment Partners, who explains to KJ Helms, host of the Disruption / Interruption podcast, that instead of utilizing the traditional investment advisory model that focuses on one half of client revenue, Christian Hyldahl's firm takes a radical shift—capitalizing and monetizing the investment management portion and sharing it with their investment advisement partners. By making sure clients' money is "working harder", advisors and asset managers will differentiate themselves—getting better performance even in bad market years, which attracts more capital, but more importantly, earns their customers' loyalty.

After years of being a traditional portfolio manager and having clients asked to lower his fees despite stellar performance year after year, Christian said to himself—THAT'S IT. I'M DONE WITH THE STATUS QUO and founded his own company based on a process, not a product, to consistently outperform expectations.

Christian explains:
1. The key component for disruption is an extreme emphasis on what you do and how you provide it.

2. Asset management companies haven't had to disclose their economics previously.

3. The market has been gradually growing for the last 12 years, but in 3 to 5 years that will shift.

4. There is no more 30-year pattern of fixed income and rates decreasing from 8% to 50 basis points.

5. Cryptocurrency has gained popularity lately and it has given some people the financial freedom to quit their employment.

6. We have more positions available than unemployed people at the moment.

7. Processes are being automated yet providing inferior performance. People are accepting it but shouldn't be.
