About Us
Ravensview Capital was formed in 2016 to provide financial planning and craft comprehensive client portfolios that intimately use advanced investment techniques to be more effective and efficient.
Past and Pedigree
Non-traditional (or alternative) investments are generally a not well understood category of investing. Part asset allocation and part active management, Alternative Investments have the potential to boost a client’s portfolio return and reduce its volatility.
Joe Eberhardt has extensive commodities experience in renewable energy, power, oil, natural gas, gold, and silver.
Alternative investment styles employed include primarily arbitrage: pairs trading and global macro, and event driven: special situations (distressed) securities.
Financial engineering is a multi-disciplinary field that ranges from application of statistics and option theory to complex optimization models. The use of these techniques in a client’s portfolio can be compared to fine tuning a race car engine or trimming a sail on a boat to make it more effective and efficient.
Joe Eberhardt has built from scratch mathematical portfolio optimizers using the principles of Modern Portfolio Theory as well as employed Monte Carlo simulators. These tools are used to find efficient allocations of assets in light of both historical past shocks as well as potential future market Black Swan events to craft stress tested superior portfolios.
