Jeff Silverman

Jeff Silverman is a co-founder and Managing Director of Agman Partners. In the more than 40 years since graduating from MIT with a BS in Management, Jeff has applied value investing principles to a narrow circle of commodity futures.

Highly pragmatic and a textbook Myers Briggs INTJ, Jeff decided to become a trader in response to his uncle's constant questioning. At the age of 12, after reading all the biographies he recognized, Jeff went to the library and started over at ‘A’. He did not make it very far, before discovering Bernard Baruch “a financier, arbitrageur and advisor to Presidents”. Of late, Jeffrey is most admiring of the trading prowess of Jay Gould as depicted in Edward J. Renehan's "The Dark Genius of Wall Street".

Jeff served on the Board of Directors of the CME for nine years as a popularly elected Director from the Exchange Community chairing various Committees including Technology Oversight and Strategic Planning. Recently he joined the Advisory Committee for MIT's Center for International Studies.

As a trader, Jeff is always viewing the world a little differently than conventional wisdom would suggest. He is known to say, “Sometimes you make money, and other times you contribute to liquidity”.
