Vernonville Asset Management was born out of a need to create a simple and easy way for us to directly invest in companies and receive a steady source of positive returns from our investments.
We created Vernonville Asset Management to give our clients three things:
The first rule of bear markets: DON’T PANIC! Why? Remember these rules: Bear markets often sting, but more importantly, the sting is short-lived. Bull markets take longer to play out, but more often than not, reward those investors that stay invested. THE BOTTOM LINE: The recovery from the bear market is often very swift. Anyone sitting on […]
Sophisticated investors distinguish themselves from the crowd by implementing a multifaceted investment strategy – not the one-dimensional buy and sell strategy favored by most of Main Street. They’re not speculators. They’re not merely content to acquire an asset with hopes of selling it to someone down the line at a higher price. The next big […]
There’s a misconception in the investing world that ultra-wealthy investors are all about sophisticated investing and complex strategies that are either too expensive, complicated, or inaccessible to the rest of us. The truth is that the wealthy are less about flash and more about investments that are dependable and predictable. They’re the tortoise to the […]

The Summer Olympics have been officially postponed until 2021. Does anybody believe the top athletes will stop training? Don’t bet on it. Top-level athletes are the best for a reason. They train day in day out and eat, live and breathe their sports year-round, not just near the time of competition. Now, even as NBA, […]
Although every physician’s path to their profession is unique, almost all physicians share common experiences. As an example, for most, the pursuit of a medical career started in high school. Most of us, are overachievers and were even spurred on by their high schools. High schools – both public and private – compete for the […]
Only 6 percent of doctors are happy with their jobs, according to one survey. It isn’t until after spending years in medical school to earn their degrees, biding their time in residencies, and finally taking the requisite board exams that many physicians will enter the full-time workforce and start making the big bucks. However, a […]
Passivity, also known as, going with the flow or going along with the herd, will kill your portfolio in a recession. The problem with following the herd in a recession is that you could be following the herd off a cliff. As investors head for the exits, more and more join in until a stampede […]
An interesting thing happened on the way to the funeral for brick and mortar stores. They found a new life through the innovations of the likes of Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and other national retailers. The common thinking is that the retail real estate market is at risk because Amazon is pushing people online. […]
A medical career can offer doctors many rewards and benefits, including excellent pay, prestige, and the opportunity to help others. Unfortunately, sometimes in the process of treating others, things don’t go as planned, which in some cases can lead to malpractice suits. Medical malpractice can take many forms. Here are some common examples of medical negligence […]
As a passive real estate investor, it’s essential to understand the tax implications and benefits of investing in a private investment fund. For starters, most private investment funds are typically organized as partnerships in the form of LPs (limited partnerships) or LLCs (limited liability companies). The investment fund invests the money it pools from investors, […]
Commercial real estate has long been favored by institutions and the ultra-wealthy for generating wealth insulated from Wall Street volatility. Whether investing directly or passively through a private investment fund, it’s easy to get lost in all the terminology when analyzing an opportunity. When investing in commercial real estate, the crucial investing terms you need […]
Triple-net (NNN) lease properties are generally some of the most successful commercial real estate investments. If done right, NNN leases can be a valuable source of consistent, long-term cash flow free of many of the headaches associated with property management. If done wrong, however, they can be a significant source of problems. Here are some […]
When Fox Business and CNBC talk about where the “smart money” is putting their money in 2020, they’re not talking about the REAL “smart money.” They’re talking about the Wall Street “smart money” – the so-called Wall Street experts, talking heads and fund managers trying to stay ahead of the Wall Street game. When I […]
No physician wants to work until they die. Maybe some do because they love their job, but I’m guessing most want to enjoy the twilight years of their lives traveling, spending time with their family, engaging in social causes, or whatever it is that makes them happy — anything besides work. Most physicians don’t want […]
At the recent CNBC Evolve Summit, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon was quoted as saying, “We could go away at any minute,” referring to the changing demands, tastes, and interests of retail consumers. Once the darling of Wall Street, Walmart was printing money with little competition to contend with. “Retailers come and go,” McMillon said. “It’s really […]
Passivity isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it’s definitely not great for your long-term wealth. The path of least resistance is not the approach you want to take when it comes to your investments and building long-term wealth. For many, for whatever reason – lack of time, lack of interest, etc. – doing nothing is their […]
This week the S&P 500 hit another all-time high, marking five straight weeks of gains. Even with stock prices at all-time highs, why are the ultra-wealthy (ultra-high-net-worth investors with liquid investable assets of $5 million or more) selling off their stock and bond positions while mainstream investors are going the other way and rushing in? […]
