Marty Dirks

I have provided litigation support and expert witness services since 2005. 

I am an expert in hedge fund strategies, securities selection and investment portfolio management.  As a short seller of equities at large institutions, I researched fraud and misrepresentation by publicly-traded companies for more than a decade.

I have been an investment consultant for defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans, endowments and foundations where I advised clients on asset allocation, manager selection and all other investment issues.  I also provided educational programs for pension plan trustees and investment committee members.  I was a pension plan board member myself for eight years at the San Jose City retirement plan.

I have been an institutional investor directly in public and private technology companies and continue to be involved in investing in technology and other high-growth companies.  I am an expert in technology company investments and business practices.

Currently, I manage a long/short equity portfolio for a hedge fund.  I am also a Senior Adjunct Professor of Finance at Golden Gate University in San Francisco.
