I’ve had my own share of money issues in the past. So I was looking at what I could do to prepare for when I eventually can’t work anymore. A scary prospect, because those days are seemingly coming a lot faster than I ever expected them to. Which is why I’m ever so glad I found out about Brad Reifler.

Sorry to sort of break the habit of our normal baseball posts, and I promise, I’ll get back to the diamond again right after this. But I did find out some really cool stuff about how this guy keeps changing the game and making investing something that anybody can do, and find success in…as long as you’re patient.

Reuters can tell you that Bradley Carl Reifler has accomplished a lot in his over 30 years of work in the investment world. He has a strong resume that led him to his current position as founder and CEO of the Forefront Management Group, which is split into a few subsidiaries in order to specialize for various investor’s needs. His subsidiary, Forefront Capital, is a boutique firm that offers its clients an array of financial services and investment products that they need to reach long-term income and growth goals. As head of Forefront Advisory, he gives sought after advice to clients interested in the foreign exchange and commodity markets. Brad Reifler followed a long road to the successful position he currently holds offering advice to elite individuals and institutions in the realm of investing.

After graduating from Bowdoin College with a Bachelor’s Degree, Brad Reifler founded his first investment company called the Reifler Trading Corporation. This company enabled him to gain experience in investment in derivatives and this business venture paid off because he brought the company such success that it was bought by Refco, Inc. He then founded and became chief executive officer of Pali Capital from 1995 to 2008. During this time, the company saw impressive expansion by growing to a couple hundred employees across several countries. This gave him the knowledge and experience to master being a global investor.

Mr. Reifler has served on multiple company’s boards and advisory boards throughout his long career. He is also a trustee of the Millbrook School, a private school in Millbrook, New York as well as being chairman of their finance committee. He currently serves as director of ITG Market Research as well as Root Markets and his latest position in the business world is that of independent director of the Sino Mercury Acquisition Corporation, which was founded in 2014.
