The heart of jb5
One Goal, 2 Philosophies
JB5 Investments was founded by Calvin Anderson and Sheree Lanihun-Anderson (Husband and Wife) in 2023.
Sheree, a University of Cambridge graduate, developed an investment philosophy derived from her extensive experience in commercial real estate acquisition. She most notably worked in this role at the global investment fund Akelius in the London office and has since utilized a conservative immediate equity and cash flow buying strategy to grow her own portfolio.
Calvin, a mathematical economics graduate from Rice University, developed his investing perspective from his experience in data analytics. After working for a tech-augmented data-driven investing firm in Houston, he developed his own subsequent modeling and company evaluation strategy that uniquely combines qualitative and quantitative analysis. Over the course of Calvin's NFL tenure, he has been able to successfully implement this strategy while managing he and his wife's self-directed stock/equity exposure.
A Value Investor and Real Estate Investor. Together these two have coalesced their investment approaches to create the goal of having impact while maximizing cash flow through long-term asset accumulation and maintaining a calculated and intellectually sound ownership in select companies.
