InvestorInsights: Jason Rivera

February 20, 2017 | Leave a Comment

Jason Rivera is the Chairman, CEO and Founder of Rivera Holdings, an investment holding company. He is a self-taught deep value, contrarian, and special situations investor. He concentrates for the most part on companies under US$ 1 billion in market cap. In this interview, Jason talks about how he started in the field and his evolution and experience over the years.

Safal Niveshak (SN): Could you tell us a little about your background, how you got interested in value investing?

Jason Rivera (JR): My start in value investing was a bit unusual and accidental. I started learning about investing out of necessity 10 years ago, when I was dealing with severe dizziness issues. At the time, I could do nothing but lay around all day because the dizziness was so bad. So, I could not work or do much of anything. But when my wife told me she was pregnant with our first daughter, I knew I had to do something that would allow me to provide for my family at some point when I got healthy.

At the time, I thought about going into three different lines of work. None of which could require going to college because I wouldn’t have been able to due to the dizziness. One was to become a politician but I figured the world didn’t need any more politicians. 
