Building Wealth with Real Risks in Mind

Welcome to my take on investing—forged from years overseas where bad calls had real consequences, not just paper losses. This isn’t textbook theory or Wall Street hype. It’s a straightforward approach shaped by history, geopolitics, and personal accountability, aimed at long-term resilience over quick wins. Below, I lay out how I invest and why, focusing on what endures in a world of shifts and distortions.

━ Radigan Carter Investment Philosophy

My Core Principles

Investing isn’t about stacking cash for its own sake—it’s a tool for freedom and a beautiful life.

I prioritize assets that hold value through chaos, drawing from lessons like ancient trade routes or modern power struggles. Here’s what guides me:

Long-Term Horizon

Think in generations, not quarters. Allocate like you’re building for 100 years, balancing scarcity, durability, and productivity to weather volatility.

Real Risk Awareness

Treat uncertainty as a constant—geopolitical tensions, policy distortions, or elite missteps can upend markets. I confront them head-on, inspired by historical reckonings like failed armadas or shifting global consensus.

Personal Responsibility

Strength matters. Be robust mentally, physically, and financially—your investments should support that, not chase endless growth at the cost of your physical health and sanity.

Global Perspective

Overseas experiences taught me to spot overlooked edges, from energy dynamics to labor shifts. Avoid arrogance; understand how interconnected forces affect your world.

Balanced Life Focus

Wealth serves joy and resilience, not the other way around. Integrate investing with habits that build a life worth living—free from fluff, rooted in what truly compounds.

━ How I Invest?

Radigan Carter's Investment Strategy

My strategy keeps it simple: focus on what you control, learn from mistakes, and adapt. I invest my own money, so every choice is battle-tested. 

Key elements include:

  • Asset Allocation: Favor durable holdings like gold or treasuries that hedge against inflation and systemic breaks, informed by patterns like globalization’s fallout or power transitions.
  • Risk Management: Evaluate probabilities first—geocode tensions or demographic shifts—before details. Diversify across borders, but stay grounded in personal impact.
  • Avoiding Noise: Cut through recycled advice and culture wars distractions. Prioritize facts over narratives, holding up your corner of the world without running from problems.
  • Continuous Learning: Draw from history and poetry, like "The Gods of the Copybook Headings," to remind us reality always reasserts itself—prepare accordingly.

I subscribed thinking I’d just pick up a few investing tips, but what I got was much more. Radigan writes in a way that makes complicated decisions feel simple. The mix of portfolio insights and lifestyle lessons has already helped me avoid mistakes I know I would have made otherwise. Easily worth far more than $50 a year.

What makes The Fortress different is honesty. Radigan isn’t trying to sound smart or hide behind jargon — he shares real mistakes, what he learned, and how he applies it now. I’ve read finance blogs for years, but this is the only one that actually feels like it’s coming from someone who lives what he writes.

I didn’t expect to enjoy the lifestyle section as much as I do. It’s not about buying more, it’s about finding routines and tools that make life better without complicating it. I’ve already changed my daily routine thanks to one of the letters, and the difference has been huge.

The Fortress is like having a mentor who’s been out in the real world, taken risks, and come back with lessons that you can actually use. The closing thoughts section alone makes me think differently about where I put my time and money. Every month I walk away with at least one idea that changes the way I approach things.
