Jordan Mathews is a Portfolio Manager and Director of Research at Ascension Capital.

Prior to joining Ascension in 2016, Jordan honed his research and analytic skills at several other Texas-based registered investment advisory firms. Jordan’s commitment to risk management solidified during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, which helped shape his approach to protecting capital and managing risk during market downturns.

At Ascension, Jordan is responsible for monitoring current and prospective investments for risk-managed proprietary investment models, and creating trade files to uniformly apply model allocations across client accounts.

Jordan grew up in Houston and graduated from the University of Texas in Austin with a BS in Mathematics, with an emphasis in Statistics, Probability, and Data Analysis. Jordan has eleven years' experience developing and implementing risk-managed strategies, including thematic long/short global macro investing and strategies dedicated to emerging markets.

Jordan also serves on the investment committee of a local charitable foundation.
