About Robert

Wealth Builders Group, LLC. (WBG) is a non-traditional private placement lender program which utilizes international wealth building mechanisms that are not traditionally available to small to medium investors. Because of the relationships I have built over the past six years with foreign institutional private bankers and traders coupled with the need to have access to unique investment projects; WBG was established. Some of WBG’s ventures are centered on foreign currency, arbitrage, banking and frontier business development. WBG is able to significantly reduce systemic risk in most of these lender programs through the purchase of surety bonds from an International 5A rated Dunn and Bradstreet Insurance Corporation. The surety bonds provide protection from loss of principal while participating in the private lending programs.

BMS utilizes a core strategic portfolio management approach coupled with tactical portfolio management during active investment cycles focused on North America, Europe and Australia.
