Chris Brycki
Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Stockspot
Chris Brycki is the Founder and CEO of Stockspot. A highly experienced trader, he spent most of his career as a Portfolio Manager at UBS, investing the banks’ capital. Chris created Stockspot in 2013 to help more Australians access expert investment advice and portfolio management. His personal mission is to re-engage a generation of Australians who have been locked out of the market for personalised investment advice due to high costs, outdated technology and conflicts of interest. In 2015, Chris was named in the Top 35 Influencers of Financial Planning by Adviser Ratings. Holding a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting/Finance Co-op Scholarship) from the University of NSW, Chris proved his investment savvy early, winning the ASX Schools Share Game three years in a row while studying before dominating the JPMorgan Universities Portfolio Competition.
