About — Jordan Pivato · Pivato Investing

Most people know how to work for money.
Few know how to make
their money work for them.

Hi, I'm Jordan Pivato.

I'm the founder of Pivato Investing, where serious, busy people learn how to build real wealth through long-term, high-conviction investing in stocks and crypto.

The Mission

I'm trying to help people get out.

Out of jobs they don't love.
Out of salaries that can't keep up with inflation.
Out of the slow grind toward a retirement they'll be too old to enjoy.

The way out is investing.

Not day trading.
Not speculative gambling.
Not the traditional index fund and mutual fund advice that takes 40 years to build meaningful wealth.

I'm talking about high-conviction investing in the companies and assets shaping the next decade. That's what I do for myself. That's what I teach.

Where I Came From

I was born and raised in Canada. I studied Financial Mathematics at the University of Waterloo and completed six finance-related internships along the way.

In a university investment simulator against 250 other students in my program, I turned $1M into $10M and finished #1 overall — by buying assets like Tesla ($TSLA), Bitcoin ($BTC), and Palantir ($PLTR) before their major runs.

It was the same playbook I was already running with my own real money. Two portfolios, same strategy: find high-conviction assets before they explode.

That was the moment I knew the system was repeatable. And that I had a real edge here.

KPMG

After Waterloo, I joined KPMG Canada's Digital Assets Centre of Excellence.

I consulted directly with banks, regulators, and investment funds on crypto services, policy and investment strategy. I sat in the rooms where institutions were actually figuring out how to approach this asset class — not the scammy version of crypto most people hear about.

That experience shaped how I read markets. Most online creators have never advised a bank or spoken to a regulator. I have. It changes how you understand risk, adoption, and where the industry is actually heading.

At 24, I was offered a $220K corporate role in New York City. I turned it down.

I'd already founded Pivato Investing in February 2020. By the time that offer came, I was coaching over 500 members and watching their results compound. I knew where I could create the most value for the world — and it wasn't a Manhattan office.

Building the Business

I left the corporate path and went all in at the end of 2024.

The early version of Pivato Investing was far from polished. In June 2023 I was posting trade alerts on a free platform that barely worked. During that time, we bought Bitcoin and Palantir at low prices and made life-changing money.

Eventually I moved to a professional platform and built a real team: analysts, customer support, video editors, social media managers. Almost every dollar the business has earned has gone back in.

Today I spend thousands a month on AI and financial research tools — the kind of infrastructure that used to exist only inside institutional firms. I also travel the world to meet investors and founders in person, to keep sharpening my own skills and bringing new insights back to the community.

Reinvest. Improve. Compound.

The Portfolio

Results matter. Here's the full track record — wins and losses.

Annual Returns

Year

Stocks

Crypto

2023

+101.44%

+107.27%

2024

+117.15%

+66.58%

2025

+44.60%

−32.31%

I share the one loss on purpose. Anyone presenting a flawless track record is either being dishonest or hasn't been investing long enough to live through a difficult cycle. Real investing includes down years. The goal isn't perfection in any single year — it's strong performance over a multi-year period.

Proud to have bought & shared publicly

Tesla ($TSLA) at $14
Palantir ($PLTR) at $7
Bitcoin ($BTC) at $10K
AMD ($AMD) at $78

A few that didn't work out

Beyond Meat ($BYND)
Enphase Energy ($ENPH)
PayPal ($PYPL)

I show both because no investor is perfect. Even with a few losing positions, less than 1% of investors have beaten my overall returns over the years.

You only need a handful of 5x to 30x winners to build an incredible portfolio. But you only catch them by being early — and patient enough to hold.

The Lifestyle

I don't live in one place full-time. I rotate between Thailand, Vietnam, Bali, Dubai, and Toronto because it gives me the best balance of lifestyle, taxes, cost of living, and opportunity.

This isn't about showing off a lifestyle. It's proof that the path works. The life on the other side of smart investing isn't theoretical to me — it's the one I'm living.

The path I followed wasn't the traditional one:

Learn a valuable skill. Land a high-paying job or start a business.
Invest aggressively into long-term, high-conviction opportunities.
Move somewhere with a better cost of living and quality of life, and legally optimize taxes.

Financial freedom. Location freedom. Time freedom.

Discipline

I train Muay Thai. I lift weights. I play ice hockey, soccer, golf, and almost any competitive sport I can get into. I stay locked in on my diet and routines. Not for content — because discipline compounds everywhere.

Show up in the gym. Show up with the diet. Show up for the investment research. Show up for the community. I strongly believe the way you do one thing is the way you do everything.

I'm also naturally introverted, which surprises people. I've built relationships with multi-millionaires, executives at major crypto companies, fund managers, and some of the other largest finance creators online. I built those relationships by following three principles:

Become genuinely skilled at something valuable.
Ask for nothing. Focus on giving.
Show up in person, even when it's uncomfortable.

Networks compound faster than most people realize.

Who I'm Building For

I'm not trying to help everyone. I'm focused on going deep with a smaller group of ambitious people who want to create real change in their lives.

Specifically, I work best with busy people earning $50K+/year, or those with at least $20K ready to invest, who want better returns and a better life without becoming full-time investors themselves.

People who are tired of hype channels, outdated financial advice, and influencers with no real experience. People who want guidance from someone with real skin in the game.

If that sounds like you, the rest of this site was built for you.
