Tommy Lackey is a managing partner and portfolio manager at Relativity Capital Advisors, an independent, fee-only registered investment advisory firm. He is also the founder of Power Investing, a game-changing investment tool that builds more powerful portfolios through the simplicity of relative strength.

Tommy utilizes a top-down approach – applying his proprietary technical tools to analyze and dismantle the equity markets in order to better guide his investment process. Taking this knowledge to funnel down and measure the markets based on various forms of relative strength helps Tommy to more objectively manage his clients’ portfolios. This approach provides a path to better tactical entries into positions, while giving equal weight to risk management of the portfolios on both the macro and micro levels.

Tommy’s desire to build better portfolios led him down a path to reimagine analysis and use technical data to shut out the noise and hone market strength. From there, Tommy created Power Investing, a powerful analysis process, bringing together all the best measures of strength in the markets and any security to guide investment choices. This data-driven approach leads users to find relative strength, based on participation, relative price performance, relative momentum and external relative strength rankings. These four pillars provide a strong weight of evidence market view..

After graduating from the University of Georgia with a degree in Finance, concentrating in Economics, Tommy began his career in financial services in 1994 when he joined an Independent planning firm and quickly moved into managing his own clients as well as a group of other planning associates. In November 1999, he co-founded Barber Lackey Financial Group where he turned his focus to the investment management side of the industry. Tommy has also received the designations of Chartered Market Technician (CMT), Certified Financial PlannerTM (CFP®) and Certified Funds Specialist (CFS). Tommy co-founded Relativity Capital Advisors with his wife, Jennifer, in 2016
