Michael Dever

Michael Dever, first and foremost, is a trader and investor. He has been on the front line of investment innovation and trading for more than 30 years. His firm, Brandywine Asset Management, has produced top-ranked returns for its clients that are uncorrelated to all conventional investment benchmarks. Mr. Dever's out-of-the-box thinking, innovative investment philosophy and investment success have made him a featured subject of three books, "Bulls, Bears and Millionaires," "Market Beaters" and "The Investor's Guide to Hedge Funds."

With the release of "Jackass Investing" (also released under the title "Exploiting the Myths"), he is now a published author. Mr. Dever was driven to write "Jackass Investing" in 1999, after seeing the fever instilled in people at the peak of that great U.S. stock market bubble. But writing the book took a back seat until the financial crisis of 2008 demanded its completion.

Today, Mr. Dever devotes his time to running Brandywine Asset Management, which follows Mr. Dever's Return Driver based methodology to trade broadly diversified portfolios in the global currency, interest rate, stock index, metals, energy and agricultural markets.

Mr. Dever lives near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with his wife Kim. They have three sons; Mitchell, Matthew and Charley. He has a bachelor degree in business from West Chester University (1981) and obtained his CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification in 1985.
