About Matson Money

We’re the investor coaching company.

We provide breakthrough education, tools, and coaching that helps families transform their financial futures.

From The CEO

“Nearly three decades ago, our company was born out of a watershed moment, when it became crystal clear to me that the financial industry does not serve the interests of investors. Since that moment, we’ve built a fiercely entrepreneurial company that strives to put your interests, your dreams, your life’s purpose front and center.”

Academic Advisory Board

We have sought individuals who support and exemplify the core values of Matson Money. Each of them is exceptional in their field and brings a new dimension of expertise to our organization. Their areas of study and skill address many different aspects of what it means to be an investor and how to leverage the power of free markets.

Members of our Academic Advisory Board provide an internal structure for researching and validating academic theories as they apply to investing. They make frequent appearances at both Matson Money coaching and investor events. This gives our clients a direct connection to some of the most well-respected and published experts in the fields of economics, investing and statistics.

Academic Advisory Board members receive compensation from Matson Money for their services, and in exchange, provide independent consulting services to Matson Money leadership, co-author white papers, appear on Matson Money webcasts, and make speeches at Matson Money conferences.
