Kevin Jamali

Kevin Jamali is a financial industry professional currently serving as the senior vice president at Farther, a wealth management firm. He has extensive experience in trading, particularly in futures and options markets, and has worked on both traditional trading floors and in electronic trading environments.
== Background ==
Jamali's career in finance began on the trading floor of the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT). He started as a runner, making $150 a week for 60-80 hour workweeks, and worked his way up through various roles including clerk and pit trader. His persistence and willingness to work for free initially helped him get his foot in the door of the industry.
Jamali was one of the early adopters of electronic trading, participating in the CBOT's "Project A" system, which operated during nighttime hours. This experience proved valuable as the industry transitioned away from open outcry trading.
=== Chicago Board of Trade ===
Jamali began his career at the Chicago Board of Trade, where he held various positions:
* Runner
* Clerk
* Pit trader
* Electronic trader on the "Project A" system
He primarily traded in the five-year Treasury note pit and was known for his ability to trade without relying on the traditional "edge" that many floor traders depended on.
=== Transition to Electronic Trading ===
As electronic trading became more prevalent, Jamali successfully transitioned away from floor trading. His experience with the "Project A" system and his ability to trade without relying on physical positioning in the pit made this transition smoother for him compared to many of his peers.
=== Professional Money Management ===
After his time as a trader, Jamali moved into professional money management. This transition was part of his ongoing evolution in the financial industry, as he sought to expand his skills and take on new challenges.
Jamali formed Auctos Capital Management in August of 2007. Jamali had been trading independently since September 1997, and exclusively trading electronically since March of 2003. Jamali has experience with a broad range of futures and cash products. He is a member of the CBOT and registered with NFA and the CFTC as an associated person.
Prior to launching Auctos, Jamali formed Focus Ventures LLC, which provided management and funding for development projects at proprietary trading firms. These projects were focused on creating a structure and formation for the client firms.
=== Farther ===
Jamali currently serves as the senior vice president at Farther, a wealth management firm. In this role, he likely applies his extensive trading and financial markets experience to wealth management strategies.
