Thomas Landstreet is a savvy economist, forecaster, analyst, investment practioner, and speaker who delivers his material with humor to engage and better equip audiences.

He operates in the real world, and makes real predictions for invesetors based on the research he spearheads as the Co-Founder and President of Trusco Investment Management and the Co-founder of N3L Capital Partners, manager of the N3L Fund, a strategic investment limited partnership.

He specializes in “big picture” economic and thematic research.  For him, as a practioner, his forecasts are not academic in nature but have concequences in the real world.  He works to have a “sharp battle axe as a practioner” so he can do a better job helping investors as they navigate the future of the market, economics, government policy, and international geopolitics.   His background and trackrecord also helped him become a top contributor at Forbes.com.

With his rich research background, he finds himself speaking to a lot of global investment audiences and industrial audiences as well with a high percentage of clients asking him to come back year after year.

Although speaking on a meaty subject, he delivers his presentations with both the humor and practical ideas to keep the audience engaged and leave them with “a lasting framework for looking at the world”.   He learned how to engage an audience early on doing stand-up comedy in New York comedy clubs, and brings that skill-set to add some levity to what can be heavy, technical topics.

Formerly, in 2011, Mr. Landstreet Co-Founded Tell-Tale Capital Corp. as well as founded Standard Research Corp., publisher of “Connecting the Dots” economic and investment research.  As head of Standard Research, Mr. Landstreet advises major fund management firms on the investment ramifications of government economic policies.

Mr. Landsteet has been a Senior Vice President at Laffer Associates from 2006 to 2010 working with the renowned Economist Arthur Laffer (of the Laffer Curve).  For years, he worked directly with Arthur Laffer where he produced weekly economic commentary and analysis.

Prior, he was also the Managing Director, Head of Institutional Sales, for Avondale Partners, LLC from 2003 to 2006 where he remarkably remained the #1 producer while in leadership and was named an “All American Broker” twice.  Under his leadership, Avondale Partners was awarded the WSJ’s “Best On the Street” award for the single best stock picking record on Wall Street.   From 1996 through 2003, Mr. Landstreet was the Managing Director of Institutional Sales at the Robinson Humphrey Co., Inc. in Atlanta, GA.
