Who Is Renato L. Capelj?
Based out of Miami, Renato Leonard Capelj is a Croatian-American economics graduate working in finance and media.
Capelj’s journey in markets began in 2011 when cryptocurrencies began capturing people’s attention online. A subtle interest turned into an obsession, and some years later, Capelj pursued economics in college; he spent nearly all of his free time studying how markets worked. In 2019, after graduating college, Capelj’s dream of pursuing markets full-time and trading for a living was complicated by a lack of direction and capital. Determined, he applied to work at many financial institutions and emailed countless executives. One responded: Jason Raznick, founder of Detroit-based Benzinga, close to where Capelj grew up.
Benzinga provides content and data to brokerages and news outlets like JPMorgan and Bloomberg. As a journalist, Capelj interviewed prominent finance, business, and government figures, gaining direction and saving capital. After years of self-education, developing strategies, and mentorship, Capelj had the capital to begin trading full-time. He transitioned to a part-time role at Benzinga, which allowed him to continue building his network, travel the world for interviews, and survive lousy trading periods.
Capelj, in hedging against potential failure, started the Physik Invest brand in 2020 as a portfolio to detail his methods, research, and market performance. In the worst case, he could use that brand as a resume aid. While working at Benzinga and trading, he also joined SpotGamma in 2021 as an equity options analyst to add to his market understanding; in the years that followed, Capelj learned how to distill the structure, pricing, and trade of options and how the last-mentioned, in the aggregate, may influence market volatility for SpotGamma’s clients and media like Reuters and Bloomberg.
In 2023, Capelj left SpotGamma to travel, spend more time on his passions Physik Invest and trading, as well as lead Benzinga’s fintech and digital assets events business as managing director. Beyond furthering his education and exploring interests in government, Capelj wishes to diversify the Physik Invest business, expanding the content arm to include live, in-person events.
