Gregory J. Blotnick is a Palm Beach-based writer and investor. Over the past decade, Blotnick has worked on both long-term fundamental strategies to short-term trading. His experience includes portfolio management and analyst roles at firms including Citadel and Schonfeld.
Blotnick’s professional journey began in 2009 as an equity analyst at Doubloon Capital, a Connecticut hedge fund focused on deep fundamental research. From there, he joined Exis Capital, where he honed a bottom-up, value-oriented stock picking style. He later moved to North Elm Capital, focusing on balance sheet strength and cash flow predictability over narratives.
Next, Blotnick was hired by Citadel, where he operated as a consumer sector specialist focusing on near-term earnings drivers and relative value trades. At Schonfeld Strategic Advisors, he continued this same approach on a market-neutral team before launching his own investment firm, Brattle Street Capital.
Blotnick has long used writing as a way to process market psychology and explore the behavioral forces driving investor decisions. His work has been published across a wide range of financial platforms including Forbes, Fortune, MarketWatch, Newsmax, Kiplinger, and the CFA Institute. Blotnick holds a B.S. in Finance from Lehigh University and earned the CFA designation in 2012. He completed his MBA at Columbia Business School in 2014, with a focus on security analysis.
Recently, he published Blind Spots: A Riches to Rags Story, a memoir that offers an unflinching look at failure, ego, and the blind spots that derail even experienced professionals. Critics from Kirkus Reviews, The US Review of Books, and Manhattan Book Review praised the memoir for its vulnerability and depth.
