The Shapes of Retirement Planning
Over the past 30 years, CTRI’s founders have led businesses through the “Curve” (Modern Portfolio Theory), “Triangle” (Behavioral Finance), and “Rectangle” (Household Balance Sheet) approaches to financial planning.
CTRI is the next step to discover, and develop what comes next.
Experience suggests that it will not start as the consensus view.

Comprehensive Approach
How do you refresh your competitive advantage?
Who walks on your behalf into the fog of innovation?
What answers cannot be found inside the institution?
CTRI answers these questions by exploring the deep connections between vertical (in-silo) research papers written by academics and practitioners. We take the time to understand the science behind high-value discoveries. We reveal otherwise unseen opportunities for competitive advantage. We look for the powerful ideas that are not widely known, flag the false positive findings, and validate the information that can be transformed into better business practices, or new ventures.
