The company was founded to provide investors with an alternative to the profit-first, client-second business model that has come to dominate much of Wall Street these days. Orcam was founded with the idea that financial services firms can better serve public purpose and Orcam\u2018s goal is to offer products and services that help create better informed and more independent investors, consumers and producers.<\/p>\n<p>Cullen has over a decade of experience in the financial services industry working with some of the biggest firms in finance as well as founding his own firms. Prior to establishing Orcam Mr. Roche founded his own investment partnership in 2005 after working at Merrill Lynch Global Wealth Management where he helped oversee $500MM+ in assets under management. Unhappy with the large brokerage firm business model, Mr. Roche formed his own private investment partnership with a substantial personal investment at the age of 25. Over the next 7 years he was able to guide the small business to high risk adjusted returns with no negative full year returns during one of the most turbulent periods in stock market history. Mr. Roche\u2018s primary areas of expertise include global macro portfolio construction, quantitative risk management, behavioral finance and monetary theory (Cullen is proud not to be considered a technical \u201ceconomist\u201c).<\/p>\n<p>Cullen is the author of \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pragcap.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pragmatic Capitalism<\/a>: What Every Investor Needs to Know About Money and Finance\u201d\u009d as well as \u201cUnderstanding the Modern Monetary System\u201d\u009d, one of the top 10 all-time most downloaded research papers on the SSRN network. He is the long-time #1 economics writer on the popular financial website Seeking Alpha, was named one of the \u201cTop Wall Street Economists, Experts and Opinion Leaders\u201d\u009d of 2011 by Wall Street Economists and was named one of the \u201c101 Best Finance People\u201d\u009d by Business Insider where he was described as \u201cone of the most influential economic thinkers today.\u201d\u009d He is regularly cited in the Wall Street Journal, on CNBC and in the Financial Times.<script src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Mr. Roche is a Georgetown University alumnus, growing up in the DC area and now living in San Diego, California with his fianc\u00c3\u00a9e Erica and their problem child, Cal, an Australian Shepherd.
