Background

About Michael Slivka

Economist by training and investment professional by practice, with experience across academia, consulting, and capital markets. My special interests lie in how technological change and socioeconomic trends influence policy, industries, and global markets—and in translating those insights into practical investment and strategic decisions. In my doctoral research, I examined how digital technologies would reorganize commerce, anticipating the rise of today’s tech leaders. As a consultant, I advised European governments on applying technology to improve transportation policy and infrastructure. In portfolio management, I draw on historical and macroeconomic perspective, rigorous research and analysis, and hands-on experience across a wide range of asset classes to manage risk, enhance returns, and position portfolios for long-term structural shifts, disruptive innovation, and changing market dynamics. I also have extensive client-facing experience, engaging with individuals and institutions to define objectives, explain markets and complex topics in clear terms, and provide a framework for sound decision-making. I value continuous learning and exploring new industries, companies, and ideas—insights that often come from connecting disciplines. I’m motivated by opportunities that sit at the intersection of analysis and application—where macro strategy, asset allocation, and market insight come together in practice.
