Our philosophy is to explore global markets and to identify investment opportunities that achieve the highest returns possible for our clients. In fact, Capital 19 was founded upon this philosophy in 2007 when the directors of the business, Matthew Jones and Greg Rynehart, identified tremendous opportunities in the U.S. which yielded extraordinary growth and returns. We've since carved a niche in the market as the global equities experts and have earned the ``trailblazer`` moniker in the process.
