Ridgewood Resident Kent Blair Launches Van Dien Asset Management

You Trust Kent Blair with Your Children – So Your Money Should Be a No-Brainer

After working for nearly twenty-five years for large institutional Wall Street firms, Kent Blair has created a more personal and entrepreneurial venture.   Van Dien Asset Management is the result.  Here, Kent puts to work his significant portfolio management and research analyst skills to construct high quality technology-focused equity portfolios in an effort to deliver superior returns. The early performance results are promising: 

For the First Quarter of 2010, the Van Dien Asset Management portfolio was up 9.66% versus 5.68% for the NASDAQ Composite index and 4.87% for the S&P 500 index, respectively.   This is on top of substantial outperformance in 2009.

In today’s turbulent investment environment, trusting your Portfolio Manager is more important than ever.  And if there is one family I know that inspires trust – it is the Blair family. 

Kent is the Cubmaster of Ridgewood’s Cub Scout Pack 55, a Ridgewood football, basketball and baseball coach and he is an active member of the Somerville-Hawes Dads’ Night organization.

Kent’s wife, Beth Blair, is the former President of the Ridgewood YWCA Newcomers Club and currently serves on the Vestry at Christ Church in Ridgewood. 

Obviously, being involved and trustworthy people doesn’t necessarily translate into great returns.  Luckily, both Kent and Beth Blair’s resumes and credentials are even more impressive than their dedication to the Ridgewood Community.  And of course there is the fact that Van Dien Asset Management handily beat the returns of the NASDAQ Composite index and the S&P 500 index in Q1 2010.

In the interest of full disclosure I do want to mention that I have not invested in Van Dien Asset Management…yet.   I also am not currently, and never will be, a financial expert and am in no way qualified to give investment advice.  Furthermore, “Past performance is no guarantee of future results” and yada, yada, blah, blah please don’t sue me.  Check out this firm.  Make your own decisions.
