Founder Elm Wealth, Author
Victor Haghani is the Founder and CIO of Elm Wealth, which he started in 2011 to help clients, including his own family, manage and preserve their wealth. He pioneered Dynamic Index Investing®, an investment approach that combines the best features of passive and active investing. He has been a prolific contributor to the academic and practitioner finance literature, most recently co-authoring The Missing Billionaires: A Guide to Better Financial Decisions (Wiley, 2023), which was named to The Economist’s Best Books of 2023 list. He has also written many articles published in peer-reviewed academic journals, anthologies, and mainstream news media, including a popular TEDx talk on intelligent lifetime investing, Where Are All the Billionaires and Why Should We Care? Victor has helped run several widely referenced investor psychology experiments, often based on subjects betting real money on uncertain, positive edge opportunities (the Coin Flip game and the Crystal Ball challenge). Elm Wealth recently launched the Elm Market Navigator ETF, ticker ELM, listed on the NYSE, to make Dynamic Index Investing® available to all investors.
Earlier in his career (1984 -1993), Victor worked at Salomon Brothers in New York in research and became a managing director on the bond arbitrage desk. Victor was a co-founding partner and co-headed the London office of the hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management (1993-1999). He graduated from the London School of Economics in 1984.
