## Resource

Background: Matthew Tuttle is the CEO of Tuttle Capital Management. Description: ​​On the Alt Funds Network podcast, hosts Mike Schroeder and Skyler Stike interview Matthew Tuttle, CEO/CIO of Tuttle Capital Management, about his path from wealth management to actively managed thematic ETFs, the rapid rise of thematic trading post-COVID, and how his firm has grown to roughly 70 ETFs and about $5B AUM. Tuttle explains his theme research process—focusing on AI “bottlenecks” like photonics (FOTO), memory, and even space—and why being first to market matters. He outlines how Tuttle markets via thought leadership and a daily newsletter rather than wholesalers. Tuttle argues the 60/40 model is outdated, shares his portfolio framework (thematic equities, “HALO” heavy-asset value, hard-money hedges, “better than bonds” like P&C insurers and pre-merger SPACs, digital credit, and true tail risk), discusses internal AI use, and warns about bubbles, stagflation risk, and younger investors’ lack of crash experience.
