Presentation Transcript

  1. Brodie Johnson Merrill Lynch Building Blocks of Investing Brodie Johnson, formerly of Bank of America and Merrill Lynch, has over three decades of experience in the field of investment banking. His presentation emphasized that the most severe market conditions result from an excess of leverage and an assumption that historical trends will continue. With a focus on ethics and transparency in business, he was responsible for developing a new kind of security that helped revive the CMO market after the American housing crisis in 2008.

  3. Brodie Johnson Merrill Lynch Basic Portfolio Management Experience with Merrill Lynch and Bank of America reveals the importance of risk management. Portfolio concepts such as the Capital Asset Pricing Model, Markowitz risk minimization, and Value at Risk, all begin with the measurement of the historical volatility of asset prices. In a recent presentation Brodie Johnson emphasized that while correlation and variance are essential risk measurements, the instability of these measures periodically results in unexpected large losses.

  4. Brodie Johnson Merrill Lynch Fundamental Philosophy Observing human nature is critical to success in business and politics. “Be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy.” After 35 years with high-profile investment firms such as Bank of America and Merrill Lynch, Brodie Johnson appreciates these motivating forces. J.P. Morgan once said there are 3 reasons why a man wants a loan – the reason he tells you; the reason he thinks he wants the loan; and the real reason. Insight into the motivation of counterparties is critical to evaluating proposals.
