Guest Bio

With over two decades in software development and a passion for data analysis and investing, I founded Ditch Your Fund (DYF) to democratize investing. Shifting from technical analysis to value investing, I realized the potential for individuals to outperform mutual funds. DYF identifies promising companies through consistent growth analysis and determines intrinsic value to aid in decision-making. Our approach distills complex data into user-friendly scores, emphasizing simplicity and community engagement. Backed by transparent methods and outperforming the S&P 500 in back-testing, DYF aims to empower individuals to manage their finances independently and foster a supportive investing community.
