Michael Kerris, Esq.

Partner

Michael Kerris began his career in 1994 when he co-founded Axiom Communications, a telecommunications company. After its sale to World Link, a public company, Mr. Kerris has gone on to spend more than two decades in the investment management industry. During the first several years, Mr. Kerris worked as an analyst focused on emerging growth companies at the hedge funds Cohanzick Management and MH Capital/UBS, and served as the portfolio manager at Kerris Capital Management. Thereafter, Mr. Kerris spent several years co-leading The FrameWorks Group, an investment company focused on real estate.

 

Since 2011, Mr. Kerris has focused on developing proprietary systematic trading strategies across multiple asset classes, and automated trading algorithms. The potential of volatility as an asset class became apparent immediately.  Mr. Kerris traded volatility for a number of years as he worked to systematize his signals. This multi-year effort resulted in the development of the Volatility Strategy. Since 2015, Mr. Kerris has managed client capital utilizing multiple strategies under the BrightView banner. In 2019, Mr. Kerris decided to forgo his work in other asset classes to focus exclusively on the larger opportunity with volatility.
