Hal Masover Senior Partner, Iowa Progressive Asset Management
From real estate, to commodities, to portfolio planning, Hal's entire professional career has been one of value investing in tangible assets with strong cash flows.
At IPAM we stand for appropriate investment diversification outside the stock market. What sets Hal and the other professional consultants of FWG apart from most other investment professionals is that they have the depth of experience with directly investing in tangible, hard, assets ("stuff") in addition to "paper" assets such as stocks and bonds.
Hal began as a professional real estate investor. A Graduate of Penn State, Hal began as a professional Real Estate investor in Madison, Wisconsin in 1978. Successfully cashing out of those investments by 1986, Hal moved to Iowa and began to invest his real estate profits.
Hal "wrote the book" on "Value Investing in Commodity Futures", John Wiley & Sons, NY (now translated into several languages including Chinese). Hal's next venture was to found a commodity trading firm. The experience led him to write his well-regarded book. During this tenure he formulated two key elements of his investment philosophy. First, adhere to "value Investing" : maximize one's upside potential by seeking what's undervalued (be it Real Estate, Commodities,Bonds or Blue Chip Stocks). Second, employ true investment diversification through alternative asset classes, particularly those based on tangible, hard assets that can also yield cash flow.
Hal co-founded Iowa Progressive Asset Management with his partner, Stuart Valentine, in 2000. Hal and the other investment professionals at IPAM provide securities and investments with particular focus on diversification that includes both alternative and traditional investing. IPAM has rapidly expanded and serves a clientele of independent-minded, sophisticated investors who are located all over the United States.
