Joseph Noko (pronounced “nookoo”) is an investment analyst, investor, and economist, ranked sixth globally by SumZero, Inc. amongst a professional membership in excess of sixteen thousand. His model portfolio, launched in 2024, has delivered annualised returns exceeding forty-three per cent, consistently outperforming the S&P 500. The insights underpinning this performance are disseminated through his newsletter, The Mirandolan, and on SumZero, where they are read by more than 570 analysts and portfolio managers worldwide.

His analytical distinction lies in a proprietary framework that integrates expectations investing, forensic accounting, and financial economics. This involves rigorous accounting adjustments to measure EVA metrics—NOPAT and ROIC and EBV—supported by reverse DCF modelling to discern the operational performance implied by a share price. This process directly informs a proprietary stock and credit rating system, generating high-conviction positions for long-term wealth creation.

Guiding this methodology is a singular approach to risk, drawn from his master’s thesis, The Nature of Risk, and now being developed into a doctoral proposal. It posits that the rational management of risk, rather than its pursuit is the true foundation of long-term outperformance.

Mr Noko holds a Masters in Law and Finance from the Université d’Angers, France, graduated magna cum laude. His broader research and professional experience encompass peer-reviewed publications in economics, capital allocation, risk management, and portfolio construction.

He welcomes serious professional inquiries and is available via the following channels : LinkedIn, SumZero, Seeking Alpha, and by email below.
