Mark Adams, Founding Partner

Adams has over 20 years of experience in managing options portfolios in a variety of investment vehicles.

Early in his career, Adams worked for the Federal Reserve and then transitioned to the world of asset management. At a prominent Dallas-based option trading firm, he was simultaneously a Portfolio Manager, Chief Quantitative Analyst, CIO, and CCO for the firm. Growing a company from nothing to an industry leader, Adams has navigated many diverse market environments and has honed a risk management skill set. This experience led him, with Sando, to found Fortuna Funds, allowing the fullest expression of those abilities, and to apply hedge-fund-manager tools to a new actively managed ETF.

Adams graduated from Washington University in St. Louis where he received a BBA with a triple major in Finance, Management, and International Business. He also received an MBA in Finance from Southern Methodist University’s Cox School of Business. Mark lives in Dallas, TX where he and his wife, Ally, have three sons, Patrick, Harrison, and Benjamin.
