Hello ...
My name is Joshua Myers, I am the founder and Managing Partner of Cedars Hill Group. I started CHG after recognizing an unmet need for providing clients with innovative ideas, genuine relationships, and reliable capital partners. My mission is share the benefit of my experience on Wall Street with Main Street individuals and businesses. CHG's principles include open-mindedness, collaboration, honesty regarding our capabilities & areas of expertise, and consistently fair dealings. Since we provide a boutique service, we may not be the best partner for all clients and strive to offer engagements to only those partners where a mutual fit is beneficial to all. |
My First
Introduction to the world of investments was from my Grandmother as a young boy. Her father was an investor during the great market run up before the crash of 1929-1930 and resulting Great Depression. She showed me how to read the stock market section in the newspaper and taught me to paper trade stocks. I was instantly hooked, invented a game based on the stock market, and filed a patent application by the age of 9.
My love for investing continued while attending Drexel University with my first co-op position at Susquehanna Investment Group. It was there that I learned to apply my natural mathematical skills to the stock market using statistics and game theory. After graduating from Drexel, I transitioned into the bond market at Penn Mutual Life Insurance. I started as an assistant portfolio manager and quickly rose to become Head of Fixed Income, overseeing the company’s $7 billion investment portfolio. At Penn Mutual I learned how to apply macroeconomics and fundamental analysis to my quantitative skillset developed at Susquehanna. I left Penn Mutual in 2009 after helping to steer them successfully through the Global Financial Crisis (top-decile returns amongst Morningstar Fixed Income Managers over a 5-year period), to go back to my entrepreneurial roots and startup a broker dealer in New York City. I built a brand around my research and analytical process and developed a large institutional client following with some of the most sophisticated institutional investors in the world.
I left Wall Street ...
In 2018 to focus on a dream of mine to help individuals and businesses outside of Wall Street through my institutional investment expertise. I starting working with a group of family offices with total wealth of approximately $20 billion, helping to sell a family business, build a renewable energy company, acquire conventional oil and gas businesses, build a $100mm RIA, and identify and evaluate private and public investments within the real estate, media and entertainment, financial services, and healthcare industries.
I formed Cedars Hill Group to continue this work and expand it because I saw the need for a quality partnership that can bring innovative ideas, reliable capital, and quality relationships to family offices, institutional investors, and businesses.
I Grew Up In ...
Suburban Philadelphia where I still live with my wife and two children. I am an avid Philadelphia sports fan (one of the even-tempered ones), try to hold my own in pick-up basketball games, and am often found cycling, hiking, coding, investing, and playing poker when not hanging with my family
I believe that both life and work constantly present us with choices and to enjoy success in both we must focus on the decision making process.
