Daniel Teed

Daniel Teed is President of Wedgewood Investors, Inc., an independent, fee-only Registered Investment Advisor based in Erie, Pennsylvania. The firm was founded in 1984 and, per its own materials, manages over $200 million on behalf of individuals, businesses, and retirement plans. Teed has led the firm as President since 2011.

Before joining Wedgewood, Teed built a career in derivatives and trading. He held a seat on the Chicago Board of Trade for 12 years, working as a floor trader specializing in interest-rate derivatives in the U.S. bond markets. He later moved to Tokyo, where he traded international interest-rate derivative instruments for a major investment bank. He then founded Associated Trading Partners (ATP), an interest-rate derivative and equity hedge fund, which he ran for roughly five years before it was acquired by a London-based investment bank; he spent about two more years running the firm after the acquisition.

Teed's education spans economics, finance, and international studies. He earned degrees in Economics and Japanese from Gannon University (Erie, PA), studied International Economics at Obirin Daigaku (Obirin University) in Tokyo, Japan, and completed coursework at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. On a personal note, the firm's bio describes him as a father of four daughters (and three dogs) and an endurance-sports participant.

Note on classification: The stub data and some third-party lists categorize Daniel Teed as an "Angel Investor" investing at the "Seed Round" stage. Public, primary-source evidence instead describes his work as public-market portfolio management and financial advisory through Wedgewood Investors, an RIA. No verifiable record of individual startup/angel deals was found, so those items are flagged rather than fabricated.

• Operates through Wedgewood Investors as a fee-only, independent RIA providing "unbiased investment advice and portfolio management," primarily for individuals, businesses, and retirement/corporate plans.
• Deep specialization in interest-rate derivatives and fixed-income/equity markets, reflecting a career on the Chicago Board of Trade and running a derivative/equity hedge fund (ATP).
• Firm positions itself as a fiduciary, conflict-free advisor managing ~$200M+ in assets — an approach centered on discretionary portfolio management rather than early-stage venture bets.
• No publicly stated venture/angel thesis, target check size, or startup sector focus could be verified from primary sources.
