About

Victor Schramm, CFS®, CAS®, AIF® received his B.A. in Russian and East European History from the University of Oregon in 2007. Since his University studies, he has worked in the art supplies, sales, and candy manufacturing industries. In 2012 he relocated from Brooklyn, NY to Portland, OR and immediately set to work founding an independent Registered Investment Advisor firm.

Victor Schramm is a self-described “investing nerd” who spends much of his free time reading authors from all corners of the economic and finance world such as Eugene Fame, Frank Fabozzi, Martin Wittman, and Bill Gross. As an investor, he’s most aligned with the Environment, Social, & Governance (ESG) style of investing and seeking social responsibility backed by empirical insights. Business and finance ethics are a topic of particular interest and authors such as Rabbi Elliot Dorff and Moses L. Pava have been highly influential on the philosophy and practice of Chaim Investment Advisors. He’s particularly interested in Halakhic Finance, Jewish Law, and working with religious people and communities on exploring applied ethics in finance.
