Matthew D.L. Deutsch has operated Deutsch &
Thomas, Inc. for the past thirteen years. At the start of his business career, he
successfully managed a complicated arbitrage portfolio of mortgage and
securitized assets and option contracts. The proprietary models used by this
business were developed over a four year period by Mr. Deutsch while he was a
student at New York University. Matthew raised the needed
capital within a private trust to employ these strategies in the open market.
Concurrently, Mr. Deutsch
developed Deutsch & Thomas as a business plan consulting firm focusing on small
and medium sized businesses. Since launching the business, the Company has had
more than 1,700 business plan clients. These plans have aggregately raised
$515,000,000 from lending and private investment sources.
Mr. Deutsch was also actively involved managing the
financial affairs of Frank Funds, Inc – a publicly traded mutual fund. He was instrumental
in developing the overall investment and implementation strategy that has allowed
the fund to operate profitably from the first month. Frank funds returned 14.6%
to its investors within the first six months of its operation last year. Additionally,
he assisted in the initial public offering process and the Securities and Exchange
Commissions mandatory reporting requirements. During his tenure as a board member, he was the Chairman of the Frank Funds audit committee.
Mr. Deutsch is a graduate of New York University where
he completed a rigorous academic curriculum that included the study of economics,
literature, mathematics, and computer science. He was published in two issues of NYU’s economics’
journal regarding his original research into the spending and saving habits of Americans
as well as the enforcement of intangible property rights with respect to the entertainment
industry. Mr. Deutsch coauthored these studies, and were invited
as guest speakers at the National Conference on Science and Mathematics hosted at
NYU. Matthew was a participating member of NYU’s academic symposium. He is a contributing
member of the International Association of Financial Engineers.
He has also authored a book on
principally protected investments and Black-Scholes-Merton delta hedging theory.
This book is currently in publication. He has also been a featured author in the
Business Plans Handbook Volume 15 and The Business Plans Handbook
Volume 17.
Mr. Deutsch works and resides in
the Philadelphia metropolitan area.
