Each episode of the WealthForge podcast Forge in Focus is designed to help you learn more about the members of our team, and for Episode 3 we shine the spotlight on WealthForge Co-Founder Mat Dellorso.
In Part One, “Expanding Opportunity through Technology,” Mat shares how he got started in finance and the alternative investment industry and explains how WealthForge first came to be. In conversation with Client Success Associate Alex Pauliukonis, Mat explains how the economic downturn in 2008 exposed gaps in opportunities for recession-resilient industries and how he believed technology could close those gaps—the seed of an idea that would eventually grow into WealthForge.
“We believe alternative investments are exactly those things we were looking for in 2008,” Mat said. “The 60/40 portfolio isn’t resilient as it once was or as it should be, and it could be a whole lot more resilient if you sprinkle in 5, 10, [or] 20 percent alternatives.”
