Eric Peters is the Founder, CEO, and CIO of One River Asset Management and its subsidiary, One River
Digital Asset Management. One River is an innovative investment manager dedicated to delivering
high-conviction discretionary and quantitative strategies that help its clients build superior

investment landscape shifting in ways that will make the coming ten years look profoundly different from
the past decade. Its strategies are built to profit from this dynamic environment while providing strong
diversification benefits to traditional investment portfolios.

Eric travels extensively, exchanging ideas, debating policy, and identifying investment opportunities
with many of the world’s top investment managers, economists, strategists, political consultants,

his weekly investment letter - Weekend Notes - which is read by investment professionals who directly
deploy over $1trln in alternative assets.
