John LaBarca, CFA, CPA
Portfolio Manager, Shareholder
John is a member of our investment team and joined Vision Capital in 2015. He has an extensive background as a portfolio manager specializing in quantitative and fundamental research.
John is the kind of person who sees something bad happen and steps into fix it. After witnessing too much fraud in the financial services industry, he decided to become an analyst to help investors take some of the risk and volatility out of equity investing. Hailing from New York, John has adapted to Portland well thanks to his love of coffee and soccer. If he’s not playing or watching soccer on the weekends, he’s coaching his daughters’ teams and trying figure out how to squeeze in a round of golf.
