Dear Friend,

I'm going to tell you about something that, frankly, I didn't believe was real when I first heard about it.

An investment that's produced an average of 9.7% per month—independently audited—with no losing months over a 4-year period.

I know. I rolled my eyes too.

But after months of due diligence, watching it perform with my own eyes, and understanding the mechanics behind it...

I realized this might be the single most important investment opportunity I've ever come across.

Let me explain how I got here.

You Know My Story

When I was a kid, my dad owned a small business. We weren't rich, but we were comfortable.

Then his business partner embezzled from him.

We lost everything. The house. The business. The money. I remember sleeping on couches. Living in RVs. We were homeless.

That experience left a mark on me that never went away.

For the last 25 years, I've been on a singular mission:

That question has driven everything I've done. Building businesses. Writing books. Working in capital markets. Helping companies raise hundreds of millions of dollars.

I've seen a lot of investment opportunities come and go. Most of them are mediocre. Some are outright scams. A few are genuinely good.

But this one? This one stopped me in my tracks.

The Search For A "Savant Trader"

This story starts with a man named Jared Yellin.

Jared is what you'd call a non-tech tech founder. Over the past 15 years, he's built a portfolio of B2B and B2C SaaS companies through his venture studio. He's been a purebred venture investor for 20 years, with his first exit just a year after graduating college.

About two years ago, Jared's family portfolio came into significant liquidity. For the first time in decades, he was sitting on a pile of cash with nowhere to put it.

He didn't want to lock it up in another venture deal for 10-15 years. And he was skeptical about early-stage AI investments—too hard to verify technical moats.

So Jared said to his wife:

"I want to find a place to park this capital that will offer venture-level returns... but maintain liquidity."

Around the same time, a close friend of Jared's was in a similar situation. His name is Jonathan Bernier.

Jonathan played in the NHL for 15 years. He was a goalie who won a Stanley Cup with the Los Angeles Kings and retired as a New Jersey Devil. But as well as Jonathan did on the ice, he did even better as an entrepreneur and investor.

He too was sitting on significant capital with no place to deploy it.

Jared called Jonathan with an idea:

"What's a savant trader?" Jonathan asked.

Jared explained: Someone who's been trading their own capital for at least 5 years—ideally 10—with documented, high double-digit annualized returns. The key word being documented, meaning it could be independently verified and audited.

Jonathan said: "That sounds like a ton of fun. Let's do it together."

Finding Lightning In A Bottle

Within 60 days, they interviewed 25 legitimate rock star traders from around the world.

Everyone was impressive. But one gentleman was in a league of his own.

His name is Ben Robinson.

Ben wasn't just trading his own money—he was a sought-after institutional trader who had always dreamed of becoming an entrepreneur.

Here's Ben's resume:

• 16 years of professional trading experience
• First 9 years at a large hedge fund in London, managing a $100 million trading desk
• Recruited by 6 UK family offices to manage $120 million in assets after leaving the hedge fund
• Consistent returns of 6-8% per month over his entire career
• Worst month ever: 4%. Best month: 16%

When Jared and Jonathan first saw Ben's numbers, they thought it was too good to be true.

So they spent 9 months doing the deepest due diligence of Jared's 20-year career.

The $150,000 Audit

The first two months, they focused on character—60-90 minute calls every week, never missing one. They talked about kids, goals, values. Everything but trading.

Then came three months of "diligencing the strategy"—five hours a week, Monday through Friday, with Ben walking them through every decision he made.

Finally, Jared and Jonathan demanded the last four years of trading history. Not paper trading. Live trading.

They hired a firm in Irvine, California that specializes in auditing traders. They paid them $150,000 to verify every single trade—thousands and thousands of them.

When the audit came back, the firm called Jared directly:

At that point, Jared and Jonathan called Ben and his trading partner Matt with a proposition:

"What would it take to lock you up exclusively... for the next century?"

Ben and Matt named their price. Multi-seven-figure, multi-year contract.

Jared and Jonathan said: "Deal. We won't negotiate you one penny."

That led to the birth of Vestige Capital.

Why The Mechanics Matter More Than The Returns

Here's where I need to get personal with you.

A while back, I had some money sitting in an IRA, doing nothing. I put $10,000 with a forex trader—not Jared's group—just to test the waters.

In two months, we were up 30%. Incredible, right?

Then, within 48 hours, my account went from $17,000... to about $50.

Gone. Almost overnight.

Why? The trader had no discipline. He exposed the entire account—100%—into one trade that went the wrong direction.

That experience taught me something critical:

The mechanics around the returns matter more than the returns themselves.

And that's exactly why I'm sharing Vestige with you now.

As Jared told me:

How It Actually Works

Ben and his partner Matt place their trades in what's called a "master account."

A technology integration replicates their trades and automatically mirrors them into every client's individual brokerage account—in real time, with no lag.

From your perspective, it feels like you hired your own world-class trader. Because the trading is happening in your account.

There's even a mobile app that shows you real-time performance. At the end of each trading day, you'll see exactly what happened: "Congratulations, you made $47,000 today" (or whatever the number is).

90-95% of positions open and close within 4-6 hours. No overnight risk on most trades.

And the discipline is extraordinary:

• Target: Just 0.5% growth per day—that's it
• Win rate: 75-80% of all trades
• Typical winning day: +0.25% to +1%
• Typical losing day: -0.1% to -0.33%
• When compounded over 14-18 trading days per month, that's how you get 6-12% monthly returns with almost no volatility

October/November 2024: The Proof

The most precarious 60 days in Ben's 16-year career just happened.

Government shutdown. Limited economic data. Almost no trading activity. Bitcoin was down 25%. The S&P 500 dropped nearly 3.5%.

Vestige was up 16% in those 60 days.

For a client with $1 million in their account, that's $160,000 of profit. After the 60/40 split, they took home around $105,000.

In November, Ben only traded about 7-8 days total—because there wasn't enough activity to meet his criteria. He sat on the sidelines rather than force trades in a bad environment.

His clients applauded him for the discipline.

That's exactly what you want from someone managing your money.

The Tax Question

Here's something most people don't ask but should:

How is this taxed?

If you want to pay taxes, it's short-term capital gains. The client portal exports your monthly statements to give to your accountant.

If you don't want to pay taxes...

Vestige has partnered with SkyGem Solutions, one of the top tax mitigation firms in the country. They pay $2,000 per client for a 2-hour consultation where SkyGem will propose legal structuring options to mitigate all or most of your short-term capital gains.

All 10 of their original test clients moved forward with SkyGem—and said the tax strategy was even more transformative than the trading itself.

Self-directed IRAs also qualify. If your money is stuck in a retirement account, there are ways to use it here too.

Two Ways To Get Started

Important: Vestige is capping total clients at 1,000. Ever. They're at 150 after just 90 days—and adding 40-50 referrals per week from existing clients who've become evangelists.

This will fill up. It's not a matter of if, but when.

Why I'm Sharing This With You

You're receiving this because you're someone I trust.

This opportunity doesn't get marketed. There's no advertising. The only way to find out about it is through a personal introduction from someone already participating.

That's by design.

Jared's mentor, Rick Sapio, once told him: "Every single problem that has existed or will exist in your life is because you let the wrong person into your life."

They've actually denied 9 people who wanted to invest because they didn't share the values Vestige stands for.

This isn't for everyone. It's for people who are money-motivated and mission-driven. People who want to leave the world better than they found it.

If that's you, I want you in this room.

Here's What I Believe

For the first time in your career, your money can work harder to make you money than you can work to make it yourself.

That's not hyperbole. That's math.

6-12% per month means your capital is compounding at a rate that most people think is impossible—because they've never seen it done with this level of discipline, transparency, and protection.

This is how hedge funds invest. This is how wealthy families invest. And now, through this introduction, it's available to you.

If you're even remotely intrigued, my advice is simple:

Apply. Book a call with me or John. Let us answer your questions. And if it makes sense, get started—even at the minimum—and watch it perform.

Seeing is believing.
