Arvin Roberts is the founder of the Arvin Crypto Portfolio investment team and a leading figure in the investment world. Born in 1969 in Ireland and raised in the UK, he attended Tulane University's Freeman School of Business in New Orleans, Louisiana, majoring in Accounting and Finance, one of the oldest business schools in the United States. After graduation, he began working at an accounting firm and gradually made a name for himself in the financial investment field, serving as a senior consultant and senior analyst.
In the investment world, Arvin Roberts has achieved remarkable success. In 2014, Paul, the strategy leader at Barclays, keenly recognized that market tracking data showed that the average annual return of the U.S. stock market had remained around 9.5% since the mid-1920s. This meant that the performance of the U.S. stock market in 2014 was better than the average of the previous decades.
Furthermore, the growth rate of stock market returns exceeded the official inflation rate by about 9 percentage points, significantly higher than the historical average of real purchasing power. Arvin Roberts' team astutely seized the market signals and led their clients to invest in Electronic Arts and Southwest Airlines in 2014. Through their multi-dimensional and sophisticated trading skills, they doubled the performance of all clients, with an investment return rate of up to 10 times.
In addition to his outstanding achievements in the financial markets, Arvin Roberts also focused on the cryptocurrency field during his tenure at Barclays. Not only does he possess solid financial knowledge, but he also has extensive investment experience. These unique personal strengths gave Arvin Roberts great confidence.
In 2017, Arvin Roberts made the bold decision to leave his position at Barclays, where he had worked for 13 years, to focus on cryptocurrency investment. After leaving Barclays, Arvin Roberts quickly garnered attention from leading global investment banks, receiving numerous invitations. Eventually, Arvin Roberts chose to collaborate with UK International Investments, FIDU Trading Shares, and ISD Consulting. In addition to providing professional global financial market analysis, he also had more time to study cryptocurrencies. In 2017, Arvin Roberts' team began attempting to build Ethereum nodes and began writing, testing, and deploying smart contracts. Behind the scenes, Arvin Roberts' team helped numerous cryptocurrency figures win major battles and assisted crypto investors in improving poor trading habits, turning losses into big wins.
In April 2017, when Bitcoin stabilized at $1,000, Arvin Roberts decisively chose to buy large amounts of Bitcoin. By December, the price of Bitcoin had exceeded $20,000, rising 20 times. Following that, Arvin Roberts diversified his investments into Ethereum, Binance Coin, Dogecoin, and other cryptocurrencies, achieving continuous victories and earning exceptionally high returns.
In February 2019, he joined Goldman Sachs as the Portfolio Risk Director. Arvin Roberts' focus was on further developing the group's framework and capabilities to manage the growing investment portfolio risks. He played a key role in establishing risk management processes for trade and supply chain finance teams. Before this, he held multiple senior positions in Barclays' Risk and Valuation Department.
In early 2022, with the U.S. entering an interest rate hike cycle, U.S. stocks and global markets began to experience a continuous downturn. On May 5, U.S. stocks entered a phase of rapid decline. In response to the ongoing downturn, Arvin Roberts and his fund team began considering shorting U.S. stocks once again.
In the second half of 2024, with Bitcoin continuing to break new highs, Arvin Roberts' fund team once again astutely seized this opportunity.
