Team
A tall manager, a specific book.
HIT Investments was founded in April 2011. HIT Capital began trading in 2013.
The manager
Built through preparation,
systems, and independence.
Stephen Read did not come to investing through Wall Street. His approach was shaped by two decades preparing to play professional baseball, 14 years as an engineer building and understanding complex systems, and the journey to financial independence at 37.
Those experiences continue to shape how HIT Capital researches businesses, evaluates risk, and allocates capital.
Stephen Read
Founder & Portfolio Manager
20
Years
Preparation
Stephen spent roughly two decades preparing to play professional baseball. The work reinforced process, repetition, discipline, and the importance of improving the next attempt rather than overreacting to any single outcome.
14
Years
Systems
Fourteen years as an engineer, including his career at ConocoPhillips, reinforced a first-principles view of systems: understand how the pieces interact, identify the variables that matter, and test the assumptions.
37
Age
Independence
Reaching financial independence at 37 made saving, compounding, and capital allocation tangible. It reinforced the value of patience, independent thinking, and allocating capital with intention.
The management firm
HIT Investments is the general partner / advisor of HIT Capital and the founder of the Stackers Club.
