We run a focused strategy investing in high-conviction U.S. growth stocks, using disciplined, research-driven selection built on 8 years of experience.

We do not charge a flat management fee, so we only earn well when you earn well. Every decision is oriented toward absolute returns, not benchmark-hugging. Our incentive is precisely aligned with yours.

Return-First Philosophy

Fixed position risk of 1–1.25% per trade. When the market corrects, our portfolio typically loses less — because we move to cash when conditions deteriorate. Capital preservation in downturns is as important as growth in uptrends.

Asymmetric Risk Control

We are not day traders. Each position is held for weeks to months, allowing the thesis to mature and compounding to work. This means fewer commissions, better tax treatment, and significantly reduced noise.

1–3 Month Holding Periods

We focus exclusively on U.S. equities demonstrating earnings acceleration and relative price strength — companies growing faster than the market with institutional sponsorship. We only buy what is already working.

Stocks That Outgrow the Market

Victor Nelin began trading his own capital eight years before founding Trend Alpha, studying the methods of Mark Minervini, William O'Neil, and Stan Weinstein through direct market experience.

He achieved a 25% average annual ROI over six years and now manages client portfolios with the same discipline. Before finance, he spent 12 years working at Gazprom, Sber, Google, and PwC, gaining the operational experience that shapes Trend Alpha today.
