JON ROBINSON co-founded a systematic commodity trading advisory (CTA) firm in 2006. His work had demonstrated the efficacy of systematic investing strategies, but he became disillusioned with the “black box” that surrounded many models. It motivated him to co-found Blueprint Investment Partners, which launched in 2013 to build a suite of investment strategies for financial advisors that would be systematic, repeatable, and transparent. The Blueprint family of companies expanded in 2019 with the addition of Blueprint Fund Management, which aims to make trend following strategies even more accessible to advisors.
