Welcome!

Hi there! I’m John Rothe.

I am the Founder and Chief Investment Officer of ARTAIS Capital Management, an independent Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), a firm I started back in 2006 after a decade on Wall St (Morgan Stanley and Oppenheimer).

Over the past 30 years, I have been helping clients reach their financial goals using tactical and adaptive investment strategies.

I am also a Chartered Market Technician (CMT) and the portfolio manager for ARTAIS Capital’s investment strategies, available to both individual and institutional investors.

You may have read/seen my investment management strategies and commentary over the years in various media outlets, such as Forbes, CNBC, Reuters, US News, Investment News, Financial Planning Magazine, and on Wall Street Business Network syndicated radio broadcasts.

Plus, I am an active member of the National Association of Active Investment Managers (NAAIM) and the Chartered Market Technicians Association.

What Is the ARTAIS Framework?

After decades of navigating real market environments, I developed the ARTAIS Framework as a structured, rules-based approach to portfolio management. It is built on three core principles:

1. Participate in areas of market strength

Momentum and relative strength help identify where leadership is emerging.

2. Reduce exposure when risks rise

Risk is not constant—our approach adapts to evolving conditions.

3. Remove emotion from decision-making

A disciplined process helps investors stay aligned with the market rather than reacting to it.

This framework is designed for investors who want thoughtful risk management and a strategy built for today’s markets.

It explains how the adaptive methodology works and why it may help investors better navigate market uncertainty.

Looking Ahead

The investment landscape will continue to change. Markets evolve. Leadership rotates. Risk never stands still.

What remains constant is the need for strategy, discipline, and adaptability.

Whether you’re here to learn, explore new ideas, or gain a deeper understanding of how adaptive investing works, I’m glad to have you.

Thank you for joining me.
