Background

About Fred Gladle

Approximately 30 years’ experience in all aspects of the financial services industry, including sales and marketing. I am an entrepreneur at heart. My experience starts off being a stockbroker in Beverly Hills, CA to managing my own private equity firm called TrendsGroup Financial, Inc. My Experience includes establishing, marketing, and developing high net worth client relationships. Running the full operations of the sales offices for regional broker/dealers including the training and building of their sales teams. I created and administered a hedge fund called the Global Benchmarks Arbitrage Fund (GBAF) managed by TrendsGroup Financial the general partner. I helped early-stage startup companies with their business plans, marketing, and raising millions of dollars for these private companies with the focus of going public or being purchased. My wife and I decided we didn’t want to raise our children in Los Angeles, so when the first start-up company that my clients and my private equity firm funded was listed on the NASDAQ the value of this company allowed us in January to move our family to Lakeway, TX on beautiful Lake Travis. I dissolved TrendsGroup Financial and the Global Benchmarks Arbitrage Fund in 2001 generating a 12% annual rate of return for my investors. Shortly after that I started working on developing a family entertainment center in Lake Travis. Over the last two decades I have acquired thousands of defaulted, non-canceled sovereign gold bearer bonds for myself and for hundreds of collectors with the purposes of having them monetized for their legal claim values. My passion is my family and friends. I’ve been married 40 years to my wonderful wife, we have 3 children and 5 grandchildren. I live on beautiful Lake Travis surrounded by eight golf courses. I am a Messianic Jew and one of my great passions over the last 37 years is studying the Bible, drawing closer to God, and sharing His Son Jesus with as many people as I can. My hobbies include reading Christian books, fellowshipping at church, going to the movies, working out, bowling, pickleball, and golfing.
