My name is Alex Harris, and I’ve been trading public markets since I was 16 years old.

  • I spent 4 our years studying finance and investing in college, where I founded Red Brick Capital, Miami University’s student-managed investment fund.

  • Two years in investment banking gaining experience in advising companies in million to billion dollar M&A, corporate carve-outs and IPOs.

  • Currently buying and running businesses as a private equity associate.

My real passion is public investing, and I bring a unique analytical framework from my experience in the industry.

Here, we will explore a low number of high conviction growth and value businesses to beat the market year after year.


How it’s worked so far

I’ve outperformed the S&P 500 multiple years running, with big winners like Tesla, Nvidia, Celsius, AMD, and Micron.

Recent performance:

• 2023: +41%
• 2024: +55%
• 2025: +52%
• 2026: +126% YTD (as of Aug’26)

The Long Game

I’m building a portfolio in public and a community around it.

If you want to follow real money making real decisions, with a fully transparent portfolio and track record on display, you’re in the right place.

I’ve been wrong before. I’ll be wrong again. The portfolio is up regardless.
