Stuart Valentine
Financial Advisor
Senior Partner, Iowa Progressive Asset Management
At IPAM we stand for appropriate investment diversification outside the stock market. Our depth of experience with directly investing in tangible, hard assets (stuff in addition to paper assets such as stocks and bonds) is what sets Stuart and the other professional consultants of FWG apart from most other investment professionals.
Stuart entered the business world at age 14 as an apprentice to a master chef. Seven years later this led to the launching of Chez Chez which is still lively in the Seattle gourmet circuit. After a year at the University of Madrid in Spain in 1978/79, Stuart graduated from Evergreen State College with a degree in renewable energy policy studies in 1982.
With a foundation in Energy Markets and an MBA earned in 1986 from MUM, Stuart entered the world of commodity futures trading, ultimately founding Crown Futures Corp. in 1991 with his partner, Hal Masover. Stuart credits his years in commodities for developing a strong understanding of global capital and natural resource markets. This includes a deep appreciation and a natural comfort in working with asset classes beyond traditional stocks and bonds, particularly in the renewable energy sector.
Stuart co-founded Iowa Progressive Asset Management with his partner, Hal Masover in 2000. Stuart and the other 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 located throughout the United States and Europe. Securities are offered through independent Broker/Dealer, Financial West Group. IPAM is a member of the Progressive Asset Management (PAM) network, an industry leader of Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) strategies. The PAM network provides clients the knowledge and support to align their investment strategy with their particular social environmental values.
