As Mr. Buethe explained to the students, Crabel invests on behalf of qualified institutions, funds of funds, family offices and high net worth individuals.  
Dr. Krause commented, “It was a pleasure to have Mr. Buethe join us at Marquette. The students were intrigued by his systematic trading approaches and found his visit to be one of the most interesting of the semester. This opened many eyes as to how a firm like Crabel approaches today’s investment opportunities.”

Dr. David Krause, AIM program director said, “It is always a pleasure to have Michael in the classroom. He has incredible work experience with AllianceBernstein, INVESCO, Janus, Federated Investors, and Lehman Brothers. 

He is the author of the Handbook of Infrastructure Investing and is he excellent in the classroom. The students were treated to an outstanding overview of infrastructure investing and I know they appreciated his visit to campus.

Mr. Underhill talked about the firm’s fundamental research process and their approach to constructing and managing a real asset portfolio. Krause added, “I like how they allow time for their investment to work. While they do pay attention to current trends, their portfolio is built to withstand the business cycle. It was useful for the students to see the discipline required to invest in the real asset space.”
