Pence Capital Management, LLC is a registered investment advisory firm based in Newport Beach, California. The firm uses its proprietary research to identify and deliver actionable investment insights.
The firm is led by Colonel E. Dryden Pence III (Ret.), a Harvard-educated economist with thirty years of experience in the financial industry. His formal training and knowledge in economics combined with his career of more than twenty-two years in Army Intelligence, Special Operations and Psychological Warfare, gives the firm a unique understanding of human behavior and its effects on the economy and the markets. Additionally, the firm’s strategy focuses on investing in companies at the ”choke-point” of the supply chain between consumer demand and its satisfaction. These companies tend to dominate their industry and thus tend to have pricing power.
The Peroni Method® is a proprietary form of investment analysis that uses a bottom-up approach to select stocks by focusing on their individual technical merits. Gene Peroni tracks nearly 1,000 stocks daily, analyzing price movements, money flow, and relative strength characteristics. His analysis seeks to identify leading stocks in the market by examining a stock’s price architecture, accumulation and distribution trends, and the relative strength of its respective industry sector.
Gene’s analysis relies, in part, on hand-drawn point-and-figure charts which have been a part of the methodology for over a half century. This hands-on approach combines both technical and psychological factors as well as economic, monetary, fiscal, and geopolitical trends. The methodology may uncover emerging patterns that could correspond to future stock performances. Gene’s technically-driven, unconstrained approach allows his portfolios to span all capitalization categories. Portfolio holdings are strategically diversified as dictated by current and evolving market cycles and anticipated investment conditions. This may allow for timely participation in leading stocks and industry sectors as well as offer a blend of growth and value styles. Technical analysis differs from fundamental analysis in that fundamental research generally involves financial scrutiny of the issuing company and considers such factors as earnings projections, price-to-earnings ratios, cash flow, and other balance sheet data. The Peroni Method® may provide a low correlation investment alternative to fundamental or quantitative analysis.
Peroni Portfolio Advisors, Inc. (PPA) was established in June 2016. PPA offers investors equity themed Unit Investment Trusts and a Separately Managed Account program based on Gene’s proprietary technical research approach to stock selection.

Todd Asset Management traces its roots to 1967 when Bosworth Todd founded Todd Investment Advisors as a value-oriented investment advisor employing the customary measures of identifying attractive value. In 1986, responding to changing markets and frustration with the static nature of standard value practices, Todd Investment Advisors adopted its unique methodology using intrinsic value to identify a stock's true underlying value. Today, with 30-plus years of experience with the intrinsic value methodology, Todd Asset Management continues to believe Price to Intrinsic Value ("P/IV") is the most effective method for determining the relative attractiveness of one stock versus another, regardless of economic sector.
