Afik Tori: Making Markets Simple, One Evidence‑Backed Insight at a Time

 

Recognized by Marquis Who’s Who as an Emerging Leader, Afik Tori is the kind of finance professional retail investors actually trust: a self‑employed investment portfolio manager who blends hard data with behavioral insight to help people make smarter, calmer decisions with their money. Armed with an M.A. in Financial Economics and a B.S. in Psychology from Reichman University, he translates complex market structure, derivatives, and macro signals into clear, actionable narratives for a fast‑growing audience.
 
Tori’s flagship platform is his 5‑star Apple Podcasts show, “Markets Made Simple,” built for young to mid‑career investors who want to understand what’s actually moving prices—and what to do about it. Across 11 episodes, he breaks down asset management frameworks (like his three‑bucket method), volatility spikes, inflation prints, and election cycles without the jargon or hype that dominate financial social media.
 
On LinkedIn, where he consistently publishes quick, insight‑dense market explainers, Tori pushes a message many need to hear: risk management beats roulette‑style speculation. His posts on the VIX’s reaction to softer‑than‑expected PCE data, as well as why “buying naked calls/puts isn’t investing,” showcase a disciplined philosophy that favors longevity over lottery tickets—mirroring how he manages client portfolios.
 
Tori’s career foundation is equally substantive. Before going independent, he served as a Derivatives Revaluation Specialist at ICE, sharpening his pricing, risk, and compliance expertise across complex instruments—experience he now channels into accessible education for everyday investors. Add prior roles in business development, account management, and government internship work, and you get a professional who sees markets from multiple vantage points: institutional, regulatory, and retail.
 
What’s next? Scaling his investor‑education ecosystem—podcasts, posts, and practical frameworks—so more people can navigate 2025’s data‑driven, AI‑accelerated markets with clarity and confidence. In a world saturated with noise, Afik Tori’s brand is built on simplicity, transparency, and respect for risk—and that’s exactly why it’s resonating.
