In his over 35 years of studying the global capital markets and managing investment portfolios, Mr. Cucchiaro has become known for his use of proprietary investment research methods including the application of concepts from system dynamics, complexity economics, artificial intelligence and multi-player game theory to analyze the global capital markets. Mr. Cucchiaro began managing investment portfolios in 1994. He was the founder and served as President and Chief Investment Officer of Windward Investment Management Inc., which was acquired by Charles Schwab in November 2010. At the acquisition, Windhaven Investment Management continued the business of Windward. From the early days of Windward through June 2014, assets under management under Mr. Cucchiaro’s tenure grew from less than $75 million to nearly $20 billion. After more than three years of working towards a successful transition following the acquisition, Mr. Cucchiaro left Windhaven in June of 2014.
Mr. Cucchiaro has appeared on Bloomberg TV and Radio, CNBC, Consuelo Mack’s WealthTrack and the Nightly Business Report, and has been quoted in The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, The Financial Times, Forbes and BusinessWeek.

Prior to joining Windhaven, Mr. Folts was co-founder and served as President of Saugatuck Securities a registered broker dealer firm which provided investment banking and capital raising services to hedge fund and private equity firms. Mr. Folts began his career at The Boston Company, where he served as Vice President and Director of Global Funding for the then newly formed Boston Safe Deposit & Trust Co., (U.K.) Ltd., in London, England.
Mr. Folts received his BA with a major in Political Science from Connecticut College and his MBA from IESE (Instituto Estudios Superiores de la Empresa), a bilingual Spanish – English MBA program in Barcelona, Spain.
