Key Figures

Name: Michael Anderson

Position: Co-Founder & Financial Analyst of ValorPoint Advisory Group Inc.

Investment Experience and Background

Michael Anderson was born in New York and graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Finance. He worked on Wall Street at top investment banks for over a decade, serving as an equity researcher and portfolio manager. He specializes in identifying strategic investment opportunities in market cycles through macroeconomic analysis and company fundamentals.

During the 2020 pandemic crisis, Michael accurately predicted the far-reaching impact of the Federal Reserve’s monetary easing policies on the markets. He was among the first to allocate investments in the technology and renewable energy sectors, helping clients achieve more than 120% portfolio returns within two years. His style is known for its prudence, emphasizing risk control and diversification to avoid systemic risks caused by excessive concentration.

Founding of ValorPoint Advisory Group Inc.

In 2025, Michael and like-minded partners co-founded ValorPoint Advisory Group Inc., dedicated to providing wealth management and strategic advisory services to high-net-worth clients and institutional investors. His core investment philosophy is ‘Value-Driven + Risk Hedging,’ combining quantitative tools with fundamental analysis to identify asset classes capable of generating long-term excess returns.

His team not only focuses on the U.S. stock market but also actively engages in research on emerging markets and digital assets, particularly in green energy, fintech, and blockchain infrastructure, where they have developed unique insights.

Investment Philosophy

Michael Anderson often emphasizes:

  1. Patience is the greatest moat in investing — Short-term price fluctuations are inevitable, but long-term value reversion is the key to wealth accumulation.
  2. Discipline is the cornerstone of success — Strictly adhering to portfolio allocation discipline helps avoid emotional trading.
  3. Combining innovation with trends — While maintaining the principles of value investing, it is equally important to embrace technological change and industrial upgrading.
