Info

Marathon Investment Programs (MIP) is an investment advisory firm committed to using statistics, not sentiment, to achieve the highest monetary returns with the lowest amount of risk. Like an athlete training for a long-distance race, Marathon Investment Programs focus on long-term commitment and discipline accompanied by the experience and flexibility to surmount obstacles. The appreciation and preservation of capital as well as the creation of financial safety nets are the key factors in MIP client retention and satisfaction. The firm was founded in 1992 by Frederick D. "Fritz" Harnsberger, a registered Investment Advisor with the state of California. Harnsberger maintains active membership in two prestigious trade organizations-the Market Analysts of Southern California and the national Market Technicians Association. He holds a Bachelors of Science in Engineering from California Polytechnic University-Pomona and a Masters of Business Administration from Pepperdine University. Before establishing MIP, Harnsberger held key executive positions with scientific firms in Research and Development, Engineering and management for 15 years.
