About John Rothe
John Rothe, CMT is the Founder and Chief Investment Officer at Riverbend Investment Management, a firm he started in 2006.
As a Chartered Market Technician (CMT), he uses advanced knowledge to analyze and interpret market action, while employing computer modeling, historical trends, and seasonal patterns.
John has dedicated his career to creating a tactical system of investing aimed at providing risk-managed investment strategies to individual and institutional investors.
John Rothe began building his finance career at Morgan Stanley, earning numerous recognitions. At CIBC Oppenheimer, he served as an OMEGA portfolio manager, with a focus on investment management strategies and constructing quantitative models.
In 2006, John’s dream of owning his firm became a reality with Riverbend Investment Management, born from his experiences on Wall Street.
John’s passion for helping investors stems from constant chaos in the market. Witnessing two major market crashes that devastated portfolios, especially those poised for retirement, pushed John to create a tactical investment system that uses computer modeling, historical trends, seasonal patterns, and market news.
His goal is to offer clients a more proactive investment strategy that lets them “be on offensive” during rising markets, and “be on defense” when markets are falling.
“Over the course of my career in finance, I have witnessed two major upheavals in the markets that have drastically and negatively affected investors’ portfolios… and in many cases, the lifestyle they wished to live.
During the “Tech Bust” of 2000-2021, most of those affected were young entrepreneurs who were able to start over again and find success.
But the second bust — in 2008 — saw too many people near or at retirement getting wiped out.
In many cases, those affected by the tech bubble during the late 1990s had ignored common sense advice and got greedy. But in 2008, most of the investors were following the traditional advice of the Wall Street marketing machine and still got hurt.”
