Who to call

the organisation, the role and the published line, with the filing or website that published it; revealed to signed-in accounts

The firm's published line

Revealable: 1 business phone (Form ADV), 1 office address (Form ADV), 1 website (Form ADV), 1 work email (firm website) · as of 2026-09-17

Also named here, with no published line of their own (reach them through the firm): Peter Mallouk (President and CEO), Ramesh Babu Poola (Co-Chief Investment Officer), Chatten Walker Scruggs (Chief Technology Officer), LEE Richardson (Chief Risk And Chief Compliance Officer), David John Kaye (Chief Financial Officer), Jonathan Michael Knapp (Chief Operations Officer), Kenneth Richard Pyle (Compliance Executive), Molly Marie Rothove (Vice President), Alexander George Mallouk (Trustee), Peter Alex Mallouk (President And Ceo), James Lewis Battmer (Chief Investment Officer).

Who to call is the organisation, the person's role and the line they published themselves: a business phone, office address, website or profile link from Form ADV, Form 13F or their own website, with that source named on every value. The counts above are what a reveal returns; a personal email is rarely published, so most reveals are the firm's line. Never data bought from a provider, never anything personal. Reveals by plan
