Roger Khoury is an expert in the field of market forecasting, with over two decades of experience.

In 2010, he developed an innovative, probability-based form of price forecasting called Market Vulnerability Analysis™ (or MVA™) to overcome an inherent flaw he had discovered that was unavoidably baked into every trading and investment strategy developed for the world’s financial markets.

This inherent flaw is the root cause of the uncertainty felt in the markets, as well as the large drawdowns and inconsistent performance results often experienced.

Khoury’s proprietary form of real-time demand analysis provides its users with an unparalleled level of control over their performance outcomes, enabling them to uniquely reduce the downside risks in the market without sacrificing the upside performance potential, through the accurate risk forecasting capability his MVA™ methodology provides.

Since 2011, over 90% of clients learn about and come to Khoury through word-of-mouth personal referrals from existing clients.

Best-selling author Tom Wall is a financial industry veteran with 20 years’ experience and a PhD in retirement income planning. He has given keynote speeches to thousands of advisors from different backgrounds. He has spent most of his career as a product and strategy expert for a Fortune 100 company.

Early in his career, Tom experienced the devastating premature loss of his mother. With the subsequent loss of others, it was clear that we can’t take it with us. So much was left on their tables, and Tom was led to conduct exhaustive research on how to help clients balance the spending and enjoyment of their money against saving for the future.

The surprising outcome was a focus on centuries-old strategies, many of which became much more attractive in 2022 due to an act of Congress. These strategies remain some of the best-kept secrets in the industry, and Tom has emerged as one of the foremost experts in this space. Today, he hosts a study group for emerging top advisors, produces thought leadership for the industry, and partners with advisors to drive client success.
