Participants also get plugged into a global network of intelligentandprofitable Retail Traderswhothey can callon in addition totheirchosenMentor for support andhelpwell after their Program hasbeen completed.
This is the beauty of the Institute of Trading and Portfolio Management. Participants of Vacation Mentoring Programs don’t just get an education for now. They are acquiring an education and skillset that will last them alifetime and a permanent supportnetwork that will be there for them wellbeyond the Program itself.
ITPM Vacation Programs also provide accelerated learning in that a typical participant when starting their 12-weekProgram after the Thailand Vacation Program will have already had 32+ Hours of Classroom Tuition. Vacation Program participants are far more advanced in their knowledge and capabilities than 99% of Retail Traders globally and in many cases being even more advanced than a lot of Professional Traders out there. Participants get far more experience and return on their twelve-week Mentoring Program than aregular participant on an ITPM Three Month Remote Mentoring Program. This is because participants spend ten days withtheirMentorandotherITPMMentors,beingtaughtfacetofaceina5StarresortinThailand.
Classrooms…
Face to Face interaction takes place every other day in 8-hour group Classroom Sessions. These sessionsare designed so that when Mentees go back to their respective geographies, they are fully prepared to start their Trader Mentoring Program and begin taking positions immediately. The group even begins taking positionswhen they are in Thailand.
The group Classroom sessions and Pre-Mentoring Program Vacation period are designedsothatMentees optimize their Mentoring Program by; -
Getting ahead start on the program so theyhit the ground runningwhen the programbegins. Meeting and spending time with their Mentor allowing the Mentor to assess their strengths and weaknesses before the program beginsand enabling a morepersonalized/ tailored program.
Getting to meet other Mentees Face to Face as part of the Institute Community in order to leverage Community intelligence more efficiently.
Doing all this in a conducive learning environment so Mentees are not required to take time offwork and sacrifice vacation days at the same time.

Edward Shek
Senior Trading Mentor
From 1994 until retirement in 2019 Edward Shek had a prolonged and very successful twenty-five-year career as a Professional Trader in Financial Markets.
Ed graduated from King's College London with a B.Sc in Physics. Upon graduation he started his career at Goldman Sachs in the London office in 1994. Over the next nine years he traded Convertible Bonds, Warrants and Cash Equities in Tokyo, New York and then London. Ed found his niche when back at the London desk at Goldman Sachs, specializing in European Equities, trading most major sectors at the firm. He oversaw several of the top three ranking businesses at Goldman Sachs Europe covering sectors that included Oil and Gas, Pharmaceuticals and Chemicals and Telecoms, Media and Technology (TMT) Stocks. Ed ran a $100mln Long / Short Equities portfolio at Goldman Sachs.
In 2006 Ed moved to Cazenove where he successfully traded the European Banks and Insurance Equities books through the 2008-2009 Great Financial Crisis (GFC). An experience very few traders in the World managed to trade through profitably. Cazenove was fully bought by JP Morgan in 2009. Ed was promoted and moved internally at JP Morgan to the Global Emerging Markets Equities business. Ed then spent six years in Johannesburg South Africa where he ran the SA Trading Desk before returning to London to run the Emerging Markets (CEEMEA) trading business. During his time at JP Morgan Cazenove Ed ran multiple Long / Short Equities Portfolios of $100mln gross exposure. After a brief spell as Head of Equities Trading at BCS Global, Ed retired from the Investment Bank / Professional Trading business after twenty-five years.
Throughout his Professional Trading career Ed has always been heavily involved with recruiting and has mentored many young professionals over his career. Countless numbers of individuals that Ed has mentored over the years have gone on to achieve very successful careers in the Financial Markets.
Ed’s role at the Institute involves Mentoring Institute Traders on the official Institute Mentoring Program after students have graduated from completing ITPM Online Programs helping ITPM students to realize their objectives in becoming consistently profitable and to help build their track records. Ed also helps manage the Institute’s global portfolio, trading predominantly high-Risk Reward / ROI strategies and in allocating capital to profitable ITPM students/traders.
Ben Berggreen Senior Trading Mentor
After a five-year career as a commercial airline pilot, Ben made the switch from the aviation industry to the finance industry and quickly became an important member of the trading team at Franklin Templeton in the United States, where he managed Templeton’s European Equity Value portfolios, within the $850 Billion Dollars in Assets Under Management (AUM) Templeton group.
In order to expand his horizons beyond managing Value Portfolio’s, Ben joined the Hedge Fund Group at Pacific Investments in London. At the same time Pacific Investments launched a Quantitative Long / Short Hedge Fund and Ben was hired to set up the trading operation for the Fund and also manage the Fund. Ben utilized his deep understanding of financial markets to further aid the strategy developer of the Fund and evolve Pacific Investments’ complex chaos mathematical model.
After generating an industry leading track record at Pacific, Ben left the UK following an offer to cover the Asian region for Chicago-based Nuveen Investments which at the time managed $230 Billion Dollars in Assets Under Management (AUM). Ben then relocated to Southern California in 2008 to head up Asian coverage for Nuveen’s international boutique affiliate Tradewinds Global. During his time at Tradewinds, the firm quickly grew from a $10 Billion Dollar Fund (AUM) to a $40 Billion Dollar Fund (AUM). Ben became Senior Vice President of Institutional Trading at Tradewinds.
After twenty years in the Professional Trading and Portfolio Management business, Ben retired in 2015 and now resides in Los Angeles with his family. Ben, however, continues to stay involved in the industry during his retirement and has been contracted on several occasions on a part time consultancy basis for various Hedge Funds due to his expertise. Ben also continues to manage his own portfolio as an avid quantitative systems developer and Futures and Options trader. In 2015 Ben joined the Institute of Trading and Portfolio Management as a Senior Trading Mentor.
Throughout his Professional Trading career Ed has always been heavily involved with recruiting and has mentored many young professionals over his career. Countless numbers of individuals that Ed has mentored over the years have gone on to achieve very successful careers in the Financial Markets.

Goldman Sachs saw his track record and hired him on an “unconditional offer,” during his secondyear at University, meaning Goldman contractually stated that he could get any mark in his degree and they would still hire him as a Professional Trader. He completed the infamous Goldman Sachs Analyst Program (2000) and Associate Program (2002) in New York, which has been responsible for training a disproportionately large amount of the world’s best Investment Bank and Hedge Fund Traders of the last thirty Years.

“Our Thailand Trader Mentoring Program is by far the best educational endeavor we partake in at the Institute. There is a very simple reason for this. To get on this program it’s very obvious that you can’t be a Retail Trading bum that has a few grand to their name and treats the market like a casino trading hourly charts and the next headline. You must have succeeded financially doing something else in your life prior to coming on the Thailand Program, otherwise you simply wouldn’t be able to participate in it. This means thelevel of intelligence and street smarts in the classrooms is extraordinarily high for a class of Retail Trading students. It means we can teach more in-depth trading strategies and be much more active trading with real money. The students get a lot more out of it because they simply get more knowledge, more experience and learn much faster. All of the Mentors look forward to our Thailand Mentoring Programs as the highlight of our year, because we get to teach the smartest students at the Institute and we get the best results out of them.”
