My Story and Services
Ryan Parker is dedicated to safeguarding and growing his clients’ financial futures. With over 18 years of experience in the financial services industry, he takes a balanced approach to investing—optimistic about the future while preparing for the unexpected.
Ryan’s passion for finance traces back to one of his most profound childhood memories: witnessing the crash of 1987. As a child helping his father draw stock market charts on graph paper, he saw the fear and helplessness financial uncertainty could bring to the ones he loved. That moment sparked a lifelong mission striving to understand and manage financial risk.
With experience working alongside both large and boutique hedge funds, Ryan has developed knowledge and experience in quantitative strategy development, including market-neutral approaches designed to help diversify with non-correlated strategies. He also focuses on emerging fields such as digital currencies.
Ryan’s goal is to provide clients with peace of mind—helping them feel confident in the knowledge that their portfolios are carefully constructed to address diverse market conditions.
Beyond his professional life, Ryan is an accomplished musician and songwriter, earning a Grammy award for his work on the soundtrack of the film Juno. He and his wife are active in their community, raising two children who are passionate about sports and local activities.
