KRAIG'S PORTFOLIO RETURNS

Disclaimer: Past performance does not guarantee future results. Individual results may vary.

Too many traders and investors aim to sell you their ideas and strategies without sharing their total returns or losses. I'm less inclined to trust those people. So before I offer you anything, let me first share with you the annual time-weighted returns from my main trading account: 

KRAIG'S PORTFOLIO RETURNS

Disclaimer: Past performance does not guarantee future results. Individual results may vary.

Too many traders and investors aim to sell you their ideas and strategies without sharing their total returns or losses. I'm less inclined to trust those people. So before I offer you anything, let me first share with you the annual time-weighted returns from my main trading account: 

 In 2025, I posted a +21.90% portfolio return and outperformed the S&P 500 by +4.02%. This result came from the same systematic approach and disciplined risk-management using S&P 500 products – not stock picking.

Inside True Alpha Trading, I share the system and strategies that I use to dynamically hedge the major indexes.

In 2024, I posted a +22.64% portfolio return. Although this trailed the S&P 500 by -2.38%, I remained systematically hedged the entire year. Disciplined risk-management often goes unseen, but it is central to my approach.

NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Kraig Kern

My name is Kraig Kern, and I’ve worked in financial services for close to 20 years—but finance didn’t come naturally to me.

I didn’t grow up wealthy, and I wasn’t taught how to budget, save, or invest at a young age. By the time I graduated college in 2009, I was overspending, leveraged with debt, and saving nothing. By any definition, I was financially illiterate. Over time, financial services changed my life—and ultimately allowed me to serve others in meaningful ways.

For most of my professional career, I’ve focused heavily on commercial and consumer lending, financial analysis, and risk management. Along the way, I developed a deep passion for—and proficiency in—trading and investing in the stock market.

True Alpha Trading is an extension of that journey. Our purpose is simple: to shorten the learning curve and help others gain the knowledge, tools, strategies, and confidence to take greater control of their financial future.
