Gravity Investments is an American investment services company. It is based in Denver, Colorado. Founded in 2000 by James Damschroder, the company operates as a digital advice platform or Institutional RoboAdvisory. They developed Gsphere, a software platform.[1]
History[edit]
The company was issued patents in 2009 for its visual representation of a portfolio, and again in 2011 for Diversification Measurement and Analysis System.[2][better source needed]
Gravity Capital Partners (the investment management subsidiary and a Registered Investment Adviser) was founded in 2010 by James Damschroder and John Osland.[3]
Modern portfolio theory[edit]
The underlying portfolio optimization process is an offshoot of modern portfolio theory; it uses diversification optimization to create diversification-weighted portfolios and provides tools for portfolio analysis.[4] Once a portfolio is plugged in, it allows advisers to holistically determine which asset classes clients are too invested in and which ones may broaden the portfolio.[5]
