The Firm
Mercury Investment Group was founded on the conviction that demographic trends are among the most predictable forces in economics, and that the market systematically fails to price them across a long time horizon.

Mercury Investment Group was founded in 2002 by Frank Goodman and Robert Hunt, former executives at AutoZone with over fifty years of combined experience in corporate finance and planning. Drawing on that background, they developed an investment approach that pairs demographic sales forecasting with fundamental financial modeling, designed to produce above-market returns with below-market risk and tax efficiency through low turnover. The firm launched with capital from the founders alongside assets from former colleagues, friends, and family, and continues to manage concentrated portfolios of thirty-eight to forty-five large-capitalization equities.
