Marketing is a critical piece of any business. It is the function that focuses on bringing awareness and interest to a company, its products, and services. When done correctly, marketing can help a business achieve incredible results. 

In this episode, Rusty and Robyn talk with Manish Khatta, CEO & CIO of Potomac Fund Management, a boutique investment strategy firm for financial advisors.

Manish is a quant, a true math geek. He has spent his career creating and refining trading strategies built on mathematical computations and number crunching. He is a lifelong Potomac employee who started with the firm after college and programmed the initial work behind Potomac’s mechanical trading systems. Manish is a staunch believer that investment risk is something that can be contained and conquered using quantitative trading systems.
