ABOUT
WILLOW OAK
Willow Oak Advisory is the culmination of over a decade of trading and strategy development, bringing together years of experience focusing on Trend Following and Seasonal trading.
Willow Oak Advisory was founded on the principle of using mathematics and quantitative reasoning to help uncover market inefficiencies and to forecast the probability distribution of future outcomes. Once an observable and quantifiable market phenomenon has been identified, we look to develop and execute strategies which can exploit this and generate Alpha.
Founded in 2013 by CEO Kemble V. Nagan, Willow Oak has focused its approach towards trend following and seasonal investing. Willow Oak Advisory’s long-term goals are geared around being impactive where it can, both environmentally and socially.

Investment Philosophy
Our Vision
WILLOW OAK
FOUNDATION
As an organisation which is 100% capitalist by its very nature, we feel it is important to support and give back to the world around us, to keep us grounded and to appreciate the world we live in. Each year we select a charity, where 10% of our net profits will be donated to along with any fund raising activities we may endeavour upon.
Over the years we have supported charities all over the globe from India to Portugal, usually with some connection to the company or its employees and partners and we look forward to being able to grow this foundation further over the coming years.
