30+ yrs in Finance • MIT MBA '02 • CFA Charterholder '99 • UC Berkeley '95 • Series 7 '92 • Certified Tax Preparer '87 Jason is Chief Investment Officer at ImpactAdvisor LLC I started my career on the buy-side at Seneca Capital in 1995, an institutional investment advisor that also managed customized portfolios for high-net-worth clients. I was responsible for equity trading, research, and portfolio management, including the design and implementation of our integrated portfolio trading and rebalancing software. This technology enabled us to scale assets under management 10x to $10B+ with only a 50% increase in headcount over five years, allowing our small team to manage a thousand portfolios with customizations for impact, compliance, and tax-efficiency. Other expertise: multiple hedge-fund styles — long, short, and quantitative strategies — with an emphasis on deep-dive equity analysis. More on LinkedIn → To balance the uncertainties in the markets, I strive for optimal tax strategy: a variable we can influence to boost net returns. I was a certified tax preparer at age 14. In my free time I add to update our tax bracket optimizer and organize finance events for the MIT Club of N.California. I live in San Francisco with Vesna and our three-year-old son, Milan.
