Blueprint Investment Partners, an asset manager and pioneer in the creation of systematic, process-driven, and transparent investment strategies for financial advisors, today announced the hiring of Ken Peters, CAIA, as Portfolio Manager. The addition of Peters is a strategic decision based on recent and projected growth, which warranted formalizing as an independent role the portfolio management and trading functions previously shared by Co-Founders Jon Robinson and Brandon Langley.
“Our determination to be an uncommonly great partner to financial advisors is predicated on offering a high-quality investment process, having investment strategies that are highly accessible, and building a team of highly-skilled individuals. Ken’s hiring makes an impact in all three of those areas,” says Robinson, CEO and Co-Founder.
As Portfolio Manager, Peters will continue Robinson and Langley’s work to optimize the Blueprint Investment Partners systematic investing processes and investment models to meet the needs of advisors and their clients. This includes leading the trading function to ensure each portfolio adheres to the monthly allocation adjustments that are dictated by the firm’s trend following discipline.
Peters will also support the operations and client/prospect service functions by providing robust data and insights into the inner workings of the investment process, as well as by preparing reports for advisors that offer comparisons of the firm’s strategies to other models.
Peters has broad experience with portfolio management and data analysis.
Most recently, he sharpened his ability to unify large groups of data into actionable intelligence as Market Research Manager at Bell Partners, an apartment and real estate investor and manager of more than 50,000 units. He also spent six years at Stearns Financial Group, a $1 billion RIA firm, at which he rose through the portfolio management ranks to join the Investment Committee and become head trader.
