About Brendan Walsh

I’m Brendan — a portfolio manager by trade and temperament. Over 20+ years I’ve built, managed, and marketed large institutional portfolios through multiple regimes (the Credit Crunch, Euro crisis, QE, COVID, inflation shocks — and everything in between).

AlphaInvestors exists for one reason: most people don’t need more “ideas” — they need a repeatable process. Not signals. Not copy-trading. Not day trading. A workflow you can run for years.

The promise

I won’t sell you a dream. I’ll help you build a workflow — ideas, positioning, risk, execution, review — so your results become repeatable.

Why AlphaInvestors exists

Most people aren’t missing information — they’re missing a system.

Social media sells “trading for a living.” The truth is that short-term trading is a brutally competitive, zero-sum arena and you’re up against professionals with better tools, faster execution, and more experience.

So the goal isn’t to be the superstar. It’s to be the manager — the person who builds a system, allocates risk, and wins through process.

A quick personal note

I like history, psychology, and anything that explains why people do irrational things with money. I also have an unreasonable affection for honey badgers. 🦡
