Alton Capital Management

Chris Alton

I am the founder and principal investment analyst at ACM. My passion for spreadsheets and data analytics (yes, I said passion) was ignited when completing my MBA in 2002. My graduate program focused on Finance and Economics, which is where I first learned to build financial models and algorithms.

My career in the financial industry has not been traditional. First, I spent the decade following my MBA working in the consumer package goods industry – nowhere close to finance. The most important side-note about my time in CPG is this: I diligently invested in my company’s 401k plan and actively selected my investments based on data analytics.
