Sakal Ventures by Kris Bort Has Become the Gold Standard For Late Stage Pre-IPO Investment

Finding the correct wealth managers is often very difficult, as most charge exorbitant fees and show little return. With Covid-19 reshaping the current financial landscape, it has been very difficult for people to correctly predict where the market will go, and what sectors to invest in. If you are looking to put your mind at ease, and sleep at night knowing your financial future is secure, Sakal Ventures is the fund for you. Kris Bortnovksy, or Kris Bort, as he is known in the financial world, is the founder of Sakal and has been in finance all his life. He earned his Broker license at a young age and was the top producer at the wealth management firm he worked for, producing over 7 figures for the company, very early in his career. He has taken his financial success to the next level as a founding partner for Sakal Ventures, and he has a team in place that every other wealth management firm can only dream of. From AJ Arora, the technology sector growth wizard, to Anthony DeBenedictis, who is a Wall Street veteran and titan of capital management, and master of analytics and MIT graduate, George Ebner, Bort has assembled a dream team at Sakal.

Although the fund has a broad and flexible investment authority and invests globally across the spectrum, and is sector agnostic, a majority of the capital is deployed into sectors like technology, cybersecurity, plant based foods, and artificial intelligence. Bort identifies these as the best sectors as they have the best multiples, and he has made his clients millions in these specific sectors. The winning strategy used by Sakal is to identify and invest in significantly misplaced securities due to a transitional phase, a secular shift in consumer behavior, cyclical tailwinds, or revolutionary technologies. An example of this can be seen in a company called “Unity” from the gaming sector, where Sakal identifies the benefits from the secular shift and trend of the gaming ecosystem.

The barrier to entry is six figures for Sakal, but it has proven to be well worth it for many of Bort’s clients, as this investment has changed their lives. Bort conducts rigorous market analysis and makes investments only where there is a significant risk/reward. Sakal continues to flourish because of their precise ability to spot modern trends in the market. The ability to spot market trends and shifts in consumer demand is a major reason for Sakal’s sustained prosperity.

The secret sauce may sound easy on paper, but in practice, it is a different ballgame. This is why Sakal has achieved continuous financial success, as they seek to capitalize on the dislocation between current market price and intrinsic value of a security, with a valuation focus on the revenue growth and long-term earnings power of a company. Many individuals have achieved success in their respective field, but you can only work for so long, so why not have your money work for you? With Sakal, this is precisely what they do, and Bort’s dream team has changed the lives of many, by exponentially growing returns and helping investors attain financial prosperity. Sakal does this by focusing on companies that possess a wide economic moat, strong cash flow generation, as well as visionary thinking. Sakal has a proven track record, and with Bort steering the ship, this has been the fund of choice for many investors over the years.y
