BLACK SWAN MANAGEMENT GROUP’s mission is to source money management programs to independent RIAs and Family Offices that have the ability to do the unexpected: make money in adverse market conditions and  preserve portfolio value for clients by reducing volatility.

We provide money management programs that are designed to benefit from unexpected market deviations.  We achieve this by blending time-tested management strategies with tactical innovations.  We blend strategic with tactical and active with passive, and employ hedge tactics to dampen volatility.

Black Swan Management Group is led by Brad Carroll who holds the professional designations of Accredited Portfolio Management Advisor™ (APMA™) and

Brad expects... the unexpected.
