The Leuthold Group, a leading investment research and asset management firm, announced today that David Slegh will join the firm as a senior research analyst, portfolio strategist, and portfolio manager. Slegh brings over 15 years of financial services experience, most recently as an ETF specialist and portfolio manager at CAPTRUST, where he launched the firm's ETF Strategist Group and co-managed several investment strategies. Prior to CAPTRUST, he served as a portfolio manager at Quantitative Advantage and Vector Wealth Management.
“We're excited to welcome David to the team,” said Co-CEO John Mueller. “David's significant experience in portfolio construction and management makes him a valuable addition to our deep bench of investment professionals.” Slegh's appointment underscores Leuthold's commitment to strengthening its research and portfolio management capabilities.
In his new role, Slegh will contribute to the firm's investment process, leveraging his expertise in ETF strategies and quantitative methodologies. He is also a board member of CFA Society Minnesota and CAIA Minnesota, reflecting his active engagement in the professional investment community.
“The opportunity to join a storied firm like Leuthold that is deeply thoughtful about the investment process and markets is an incredible opportunity,” said Slegh. “I look forward to joining the team and building on the strong research capabilities.”
Founded in 1981 as an independent investment research firm, The Leuthold Group has been producing original analysis for the institutional marketplace for nearly half a century. Driven by its research, the firm established its investment management arm in 1987, which focuses on tactical asset allocation and disciplined quantitative methodologies. Slegh's addition is expected to enhance these efforts, particularly in the area of ETF portfolio management.
For the business services sector, this move signals a continued emphasis on integrating advanced quantitative strategies and ETF solutions into institutional investment management. As investors increasingly seek diversified and tactical approaches, hiring experienced professionals like Slegh helps firms stay competitive and responsive to market dynamics. The Leuthold Group's clients, including institutional investors, may benefit from enhanced portfolio construction capabilities and innovative investment strategies.
