Adam Koós on Tactical Investing, Market Discipline, and Wealth Preservation | Modern Investing Podcast

In this episode, we sit down with Adam Koós, President and Portfolio Manager at Libertas Wealth Management Group. With more than two decades of experience and a background as a Certified Market Technician (CMT), Adam brings a strategic and data-driven lens to investing that helps clients avoid costly financial pitfalls.

Originally on the path to becoming a trauma surgeon, Adam shares how a deep desire to help people—combined with a disillusionment with traditional financial advice—led him to launch his own firm. Through a mix of tactical asset rotation, trend-following, and relative strength analysis, Adam has built a reputation for designing portfolios that adapt to changing markets while protecting wealth through both upturns and downturns.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why Adam transitioned from medicine to finance—and how that shaped his client-first philosophy
• The difference between tactical and strategic investing (and why both matter)
• How investors can use data-driven models to rotate out of risk and into strength
• His approach to safeguarding wealth for business owners post-exit
• How emotion-free, rules-based investing can outperform conventional wisdom

“You don’t need to be the fastest runner in the woods. You just can’t be the slowest one when the bear shows up.”

This is a must-listen for investors seeking smarter, more resilient approaches to wealth building. Whether you're a high-net-worth entrepreneur or simply looking to future-proof your financial strategy, Adam's methodology offers a playbook for navigating volatility with confidence.
